Which current production revolver for carry?

[Love Machine]

Just saw this, figured it would fit here as good as any.

This is why you put a muzzle brake on the semi.

If you like a revolver, have a revolver but this is not a meaningful issue with semiautomatics any more than the risk of something snagging between hammer and frame or an attacker getting hold of the cylinder when you're in double action. If you interfere with the mechanics, gun no go bang.

Hey guys, not my video, and not my argument. I was just sharing this. Points taken.

Colt Lawman .357 Mag. With Rosewood grips.

When I carry a revolver it's either a Model 60 or Model 640 in a holster. Had a first generation .44 Bulldog that I carried for many years. Kind of miss it sometimes.

First rule of a gun fight, Bring a gun. Doesn't matter what flavor you carry if you don't have one with you when it counts. A 5 shot revolver in the front pocket of my "old man cargo pants" work for me.

S&W Model 60 is prime!!!

May I ask
What Self Defense ammo do you use for a snubby ?
In 357

Remington Golden Sabre is my go to. It is developed to perform well in snubbies.
Winchester Silvertip is also a good choice as it shoots well for me.

Lucky gunner has done great work testing ammo. And I strongly recommend reviewing their testing of 38 special ammo for anyone interested in that caliber.

.38 Special and .357 Magnum Self-Defense Ammo Ballistics Test - LuckyGunner.com Labs

We conducted ballistics gelatin tests for 38 self-defense revolver loads in 38 Special and 357 Magnum. Here are the full results along with photos and video

www.luckygunner.com

Here is my summary of the results in the article.

• .38 special is sufficient, but not by much. It has the energy to both penetrate and expand, but bullet construction matters a lot. The majority of .38 special defensive rounds do poorly in gel tests, but a few do well.
• Barrel length matters. Some defensive loads that do well from a 4" barrel do much worse with the reduced velocity of a 2" barrel. For some loads the difference is surprising.

Regarding .357 magnum from a snubby, I'll offer an opinion. Most people find .357 magnum hard to control from a snubby. My recommendation would be to choose a .38 special round that actually has good performance from a short barrel. But the article also has extensive gel tests with .357 ammo, so you can research that too if you prefer it.

Get some Safariland Comp II speedloaders, some dummy rounds, and start practicing reloads.

I was never a fan of speed strips, but if you are going to use them then you will need to practice with them.

I like these J-Clips:

And practice reloading those dummy rounds while behind cover and your buddy is shooting at you with a 6mm airsoft GBB lol.

Love pocket carrying a 360PD (with +P's...good enough for gov't work and might be able to pull the trigger again) but.....I just picked up a 640 and gotta say..... my new favorite "snub" but a bit heavy for pocket carry.

Diamondback Firearms SDR .357 Revolver at Industry Day - The Truth About Guns

&#9664Previous Post Next Post Coming Soon...▶ I’ll be honest, when I saw the press release for the Diamondback Firearms .357 Magnum SDR revolver the other day, I was nonplussed. It looked fine, but nothing special at a glance. After being able to examine it up close and shoot it at SHOT Show...
