Carry Revolver Caliber?

[Mark IV Series 80]

What carry revolver caliber do you use most often?

 

[Ala Dan]

When I carry a revolver,

It's a Smith & Wesson vintage model 60 in .38 Special.

Sometimes I carry the venerable S&W Mod. 36 Chief Special. I love the 'J' frame. I take it with me when I go out to the local stop and rob for my wifes cigarettes.

Normal revolver carry is a five inch 627PC. I have occassionally stuck the five inch 625-5 Classic in the holster, but really like those two extra rounds.

carry gun is ...

M-649 (not updated i.e. M-649-2, etc), 2" loaded with standard pressure .38 W-W Silvertips and two Bianchi Speed Strips or two HKS speedloaders. I carry this gun more than anything else I own.

I occasionally carry a Taurus 431 (which I bought new for $149 when the firm was phasing these out). This is a blue-steel 4" 5-shot .44 Special revolver converted by my gunsmith to DAO (like the 649). It is loaded with Blazer 200-grain gold dot HP. The gun is about the size of a 4" K-frame and carries pretty well in a fanny pack. The trigger pull will NEVER be as good as a S&W, but the gun is reliable and pleasant to shoot and the bore is awe-inspiring when viewed from the wrong end.

9x19mm!

 

[Rob96]

Taurus M85 with 158gr LSWCHP +P of the Remington variety. Although with winter coming up , the Ruger KGP-141 will see some carrying.

 

[redneck5]

model 60 2" ,no speedloaders ,no speed strips,just grab it and go

 

[Tamara]

The gun that more-or-less lives in my purse carry compartment these days is my Rossi M720 Covert (DAO) in .44 Special.

About once a week, I tote my .45ACP 625-4 in the shop.

happiness is a pocket full

my carry in the winter time....

 

[7th Fleet]

I rarely if ever carry a revolver these days but when I do it's a Model 60 Smith loaded with 125 JHP Plus Ps.

[glockten]

Most of the time, I carry a Rossi 720C .44 Spl. with 180gr. JHPs (Cor-Bon, Hornady, or PMC).

 

[biganimal]

when its a revolver it is a H&R 732 in 32 s&w but usually it is a glock 17 or 19

 

[PreserveFreedom]

357 Magnum. It has to be the most versatile and practical for those of us who haven't joined the ranks of the reloaders yet.

 

[Swamp Yankee]

Preferred carry revolver is my trusty Colt Cobra with 158 gr LSWCHP in a +P loading.
Take Care

 

[Solitar]

If it's a revolver, then it's a .357 in town or a .44 mag in the hills.
In town it usually is a .45 AND a P32.
In the store it is a 9mm with a P32 in the drawer and a .45 under the counter.

 

[Mark IV Series 80]

I use the S&W M638, Airweight Bodyguard with standard-pressure .38 Special loads.

I get faster follow-up shots with the non +P ammo.

I carry my inexpensive (that's denial for cheap) Charter2000 .44 Special. BTW, if you turn the survey on it's side, it looks like a bell curve.

Hello Larry,

If you want to see a bell curve, take a look at this poll:

My carry revolver where? My city gun is an automatic.

My Mountain gun is a 44 Mag, Ruger Redhawk. In a tactical thigh holster, I mean a cowboy belt Holster.
