Anyone who has followed me here over the years knows how much I love revolvers, especially S&W revolvers. My primary carry handguns over the last 30+ years have been various types of revolvers starting with a Charter Arms and then graduation to various models of S&W.
Over the years I've occasionally carried semi-autos, primarily a Taurus PT-22 when I need something really small or my P7.
But now I'm seriously thinking about making a my S&W 410 in .40 S&W my primary CCW, especially in winter.
I recently bought a Bianchi belt slide holster for it, and I REALLY like how it rides on my hip (especially now that I've lost a lot of weight).
I'm also doing a lot more traveling these days and through some sketchy areas in Virginia, so I'm thinking that something a bit more powerful than a 5-shot .38 Special snub might be in order.
Never really thought I'd consider leaving a revolver at home in favor of a semi-auto as my primary.
