My condolencesS&W 340 sometimes…
Also… a 629 Backpacker when the mood strikes me… Only major gun failure I’ve ever had was a cracked frame on a Star Firestar .45…My condolences
It hasn't exploded yet? Although at one point have the people I knew had theirs blow up at least once... but it was not repeated I don't know if it's because they kept around countdown or because they were just afraid of shooting it that much after that point....
For my purposes, some loose rounds in the pocket would do just fine.On the rare occasion I carry a reload for my revolvers, I grab a speed strip.
Do you use speed strips?
How about the new zeta six products? I really like the J Clip. I think the J Pak might be nice too but the clip gets it all done in one shot.
They’re slimmer in the pocket than the normal HKS speed loader and without the locking post hanging out they’re way easier to carry.
Inexpensive to boot!

Nice, but I'd want something more "subtle", that blends in better. That's why I liked that desert sand LCR.Man, those things are amazing. Been using speed strips for years. They sit nice and flat in a pocket but I have to practice with them all the time to stay even mildly proficient with them.
Here’s my addition to the thread. It’s a rare occasion for me to carry anything else. Perfect in a Desantis Nemesis.

Why?I would like a revolver with a threaded barrel.
I would like a revolver with a threaded barrel.
If the intention is to use a silencer, revolvers generally aren't going to be conducive to suppressing. The gas escapes in the gap between the cylinder and the barrel. Otherwise, that would be awesome and super 007 style assasin gun cool to have a revolver with a silencer on it.
True enough, I guess. But in that case, what use is a "fancy" grip like that? For the record, I think it looks pretty nice.Blends in better with what? It sits in my pocket. If it comes out other than to be put away in the safe, then blending in no longer matters.
