Perfect carry revolver?

[Alan]

What’s your perfect carry revolver and why? I’d love to hear from those of you who carry revolvers on a daily basis about what performs best in real-world situations.

For pocket carry a shrouded or hammer less revolver like a s&w 49 or the like.for myself a small revolver like a model 36 or sp101 in a holster would work

I like the SP101, but boy, it's got some heft. I'm a real big fan of the LCR from Ruger

 

[Ray Kammer]

For Pocket carry I like the S&W 642 Airweight Hammerless. Super light and approved for +P ammo.

 

[SteamboatWilly]

I do think my next piece will be hammerless.

I don't carry a revolver these days, but have done so occasionally in the past... For me, my S&W 65-3 3-inch or my nickel S&W 49 are probably my favorites. I have a Ruger LCR 38 that carries pretty well too.

Nice little collection!!

I carry a S&W Model 31-1 that I have reamed to accept .32 H&R Magnum cartridges. It's small, fairly lightweight and carries six rounds.

I have a number of snubbies.
I rotate my carry. I have a leather pancake holster that I use.
My favorite is my Taurus 605, a .357 magnum. It’s an older one when they were actually beautifully blued, not the cheap matte finish of today.

And I do carry full house magnum loads, Remington 125 grain JSP.
One hit in the thoracic cavity should do the trick.

I just picked up the twin to that in 38spl. Can I get a pic of the other side of the holster? Does it show who makes it, and maybe the model?

 

[TheDogDidIt]

Here's mine....I get lots of compliments on its outline when I pocket carry....
Now that I think about it, I really do want a revolver like this...

This isn't the same holster, but it IS a twin. I photographed this one because it's seen little use and the printing is much more legible.

I don't carry it much, it usually lives in the wife's purse, but a SW 431 PD .32 H&R Mag. It is small, lightweight and holds 6.

This old three inch Model 60 is real close to perfect

Model 640 or 442-1 in a pocket holster.
