For EDC, it is a 642. At home, it resides (if the AR and Glocks don't stop the invading horde) with a 432 and 632 in 327 Mag.
I do have NAA 22S in case Smurfs attack.
There are more but that's enough for immediate SD.

.44Spl. Surprise
Couple of months ago, I bought a Charter .44 Spl. Bulldog on a whim. Hey, I planned very,very well, and retired with my butt in the butter-tub on the Gulf of Mexico.
At 25 yds. you can't find anything that looks like a group -- or even a pattern. But, remember the "Rule of 3s" (3 feet, 3 seconds, 3 shots)...this is perfect and just falls into the pocket of a pair of old cargo shorts. Including the Sigs, this Charter Arms piece is one of the best buys I have ever made.
Oh, and to those of you who had planned on retiring in about the next five to seven years, sorry. But I spent it wisely on guns, ammo and greens fees.
Seriously, sorry dudes, but you --my kids and grandkids --are "totally fooked, fooked, I tell ya." (Groundskeeper Willie)

This is my first forum post but I have been lurking for some time.
Bedroom gun is a Smith Model 66 4"(my old service revolver)
Truck gun is a Smith Model 60 2"( my off duty and undercover gun for years)
EDC is a Colt Agent(1969)
All are loaded with Federal Nyclad 125 grain.
Back problems have put me to walking with a cane most of the time and carrying something small and lightweight.

I have a number of wheelies in rotation, but the two that get the most duty are:
S&W 36-1, Typically stoked with Remington's 158 gr LSWCHP+P
Ruger SPNY, usually either corbon 158 gr LSWCHP+P+ or Buffalo Bore 158 gr LSWCHP+P

When I carry a revolver as a primary it is usually a S&W Model 19 with a 4" tube loaded up with 125 grain JHPs. Backed up with a S&W Model 638 Bodyguard. On occasion a 2" Colt Detective Special will get some holster and match time.
In my case I most often pack a revolver when I am planning to shoot it in a revolver match such as ICORE or IDPA. I then simply keep it on for the rest of the day.

Older CA Bulldog for the city, sometimes. For the mountains I have a 7.5" RH that I put nite sites on for poking into shadows under trees with, works great. It also just happened to turn into a real dandy night stand gun with the nite sites and +p 44 Special level loads.
I have quite a few revolvers but the one carried the most is a 337 AirLite (no IL) with Uncle Mikes Boot Grip and loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 110gr .38. I put a couple of speed strips in my left pants pocket. It has had an action job and the hammer bobbed and an XS Big Dot front sight installed.
The other one I carry a good deal is a 640-1 loaded with Speer 125gr Gold Dot JHP .357. Frequently I carry both(NY Reload) with the 640 in appendix IWB holster and the 337 on the ankle.
I don't usually keep a revolver out of the safe for home defense and use a Sig 220 and a Kimber Pro CDP .45 for that task. I also keep my old Remington 870 deer gun handy at night.

Model 442 with Hornady SD hollow points for most carry duties. When I want more, there's the 686 3" Talo with Hornady SD hollows in .357 Mag.
