I started with a Sig P938. Carried that for a few months. Never really warmed up to it. Then I didn’t carry anything for a few months. I got a CZ PCR next and enjoyed it on the range but found I never really carried it all that much. I spent the last 8 months carrying it off an on. I never felt physically comfortable carrying it, like it never sat quite right.
Earlier this month a friend talked me into a 686 SSR and I found an enjoyment with revolvers that I wasn’t having with semi autos lately. A Model 60-4 was bought shortly after that. Steel j-frame, 3” barrel, target sights and 38 special. It has taken over the place of the PCR. The 60 fits me better when I carry it, which leads me to carrying it more often.
Yes I have a 9 rounds less with the Mode 60, but honestly I never considered it when choosing. I’d rather have a 5 shot revolver that I carry regularly, than a semi auto sitting at home.
There are fans of both options. What are you more comfortable with? I found I am more comfortable with a steel j-frame with 5 rounds of Hornady 38s.
