It's 2022 - anyone still carrying a revolver?

[M60]

My mom's been carrying her Model 36 since her days as a deputy sheriff in the '70s; still grabs it when she goes for a walk and until recently took it along to clear the local historical society when the alarm company called (she decided as she was approaching her 78th birthday that it was time for someone a bit younger and healthier to check the East Goatscrew Vermont Historical Society at oh-dark-thirty).

60-15 pro-serries, in a simple paddle holster.
Sweet little gun with nice balance between concealability and shootability.

I've transitioned towards revolvers as my CCW. Have a 327 TRR8 as well, that i just started carrying in a cross draw holster.

Revolvers are also much easier for my wife, who has a hard time loading magazines and racking slides.

I bought a 60-15 a few years back. Of my 6 Smith j frames I believe the 3" 60-15 to be about the best J frame Smith has ever made.

S&W Model 49, one of my summer carry options / winter coat pocket carry backup.

I'll rock a Colt Detective Special in .38 stainless when feeling squirrely in warm months and a S&W 686 in .357 for those winter hikes and explorations. The 1911 is still my favorite in 45 and 10mm but I like to celebrate both caliber and frame diversity. No judging here.

Just curious, I never shot a .357 j frame...just how snappy are they? At all similar to .38 + P?

Bout this snappy

I love humpbacks, been casually looking for a 49 or 649 .38 for a while but they're surprisingly expensive.

I have a nickel 49 and a 649. Love the snubbies

I want to get an LCR in .357 this year. Maybe, but still carry an sw 637 daily.

I like the thought of a Snubbie in 9mm, but don't understand enough About moon clips.

All our other non .22lr pistols Arle 9mm.

Why the keyboard is capping As is just funny tonight.

 

[M60]

Doesn't have the 22LR and 22WMR models. I have a nice 351C in 22WMR that I keep thinking of carrying, but haven't yet.

I have a 351 pd too. Nice snake and yote close up gun

 

[shootymacshootface]

Thunder Five or a Rhino.

Just kidding, a 642 98% of the time.

Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan 44 mag 2.5 inch for the woods.

Its snappy with .357 ammo. Federal hst.38+p h.p. works really well

There are lots of horror stories about bullets creeping forward in 9mm LCRs and locking them up.

One of the best songs for this topic on hand. Gives me the chills every time:

I love revolvers, but never warmed up to carrying one. Never been a big fan of short barrel wheel guns, but I have to admit. the new Model 19's are pretty sharp. But christ on a cracker!! $1200 bucks for a "snubbie"?

I’d carry an 8 rounder if it wasn’t an anchor

Lol. Aren't you the same guy thats looking for pricy 1911's

Well, you know, MARINES

 

[fencer]

Yeah, but that's a 1911! Not some silly little snubbie that the girls chuckle at when you draw!
Just because I am willing to spend $40 bucks on a steak, doesn't mean I want to spend $35 on a cheeseburger!

Honestly, a .357 round center mass is nothing for girls or guys to chuckle about

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass on 9mm in revolvers. The only real interest is calibre commonality.

Will probably look for something in .357. maybe not a carry wheel gun next. Though the LCRs just feel good. And having a second familiar 38spl would be good.

I am a big fan of exposed hammer, hence the sw 637.

The thing that surprises me most about them is the robustness. If you do your part, they just work.

While the photos and stories are great... what I like most about this thread, are the long-timers who haven't posted since Obama was at 1600 Penn ave.

Wheelguns will do that...

No. Because it's not 1890.

 

[M60]

Enbloc delivers again. Valuable infomation. Thanks enbloc

lol lots of advantages to a pocket snubnose over a semi.

revolvers are not for skinflints anymore

 

[Gidge]

Yes - 38 snubby.

That's because Millennials don't have the skill set to learn how to use a precision tool.

Here we see the boomer in his natural habitat. Watch as he attempts to disguise his weakness as unique strength. Clearly a fascinating specimen from a bygone Era.

Sure kid, whatever you say. Now, go back to your luxury suite in the basement and play "Call of Daddy" until Mommy makes your PB&J sangwich.
