Mostly in the fall & winter months I'll carry my Model 19. Anybody else carry a revolver these days. :D



I figure if a bad guy gets too close, I can at least burn his clothes off.

 
I carry a revolver but it's a J-Frame. I had a very nice 2 1/2" Model 19. And yes, with magnum ammo you could burn somebody with that thing, though that might be the least of their worries....

One winter I did carry a 4" Model 29. That was a bit much for me, but a co-worker routinely carried a 6" or 6 1/2" 29 Dirty Harry style.
 
Occasionally a S&W 442 in a pocket holster. In the woods, I open-carry various revolvers depending on where I am and what I'm doing.
 
You're in the semi-auto forum.....this should be in the revolver forum.../ one of the moderators will probably move it ....but look over all the forums, and rules, so you get to the right places...
 
I carried a 3" model 60 then a 640, both .38 special versions, for 3 years or so. Even though I was pretty proficient with them, and don't mind a DA trigger at all, I found I shoot just about any semi-auto I picked up that much better and have since moved on from them.
 
I use to carry a Rossi 44spl and did for years.
Now I carry a Ruger SR40c because it is more comfortable but one thing I miss about carrying a wheel gun and that is a wheel gun never jams.
 
time to time i carry a jframe, its lightweight and reasonably flat. When im clothes that dont offer much concealment (tucked in dress shirt, slacks etc) i will carry either thunderwear or ankle
 
When not on duty I normally carry a 4" or 6" Colt Python. Sometimes I will carry a 3" S&W model 65-3, 4" S&W model 28-2, or a 4" S&W model 10-8. Nothing wrong with a high quality revolver.
 
I carry my LCRx quite a bit... great little revo.

late for where I am right now... by the time I get an open top OWB rig that I like it will too warm. however, next cool season I'm toying with the idea of my 4" 629 MG loaded with some mid powered magnums or hot specials.
 
Wheelguns are all I own, so.....


Smallest to largest:
-m36
-m19-3, 4"
-m28-2, 6.5"
-m29-2, 4"
-m629-6 Classic, 6.5"
-m460v

I have rigs to carry all.... Some have to wait for jacket weather though.

I carry this when the weather is cool enough here in California to put on a windbreaker for extra concealment. It's my favorite gun to carry as I feel most confident with it.
