Revolver Carry
I am curious - anyone here EDC a revolver and if so make/model and how you carry it? Lately, I have been entertaining the idea of going from pistola to revolver.

Re: Revolver Carry
I switch between my 9 mm Beretta PX4 SC and my .38 Spl Colt Detective Special. I carry both OWB. I have Kramer Leather horsehide MSP Paddle holsters for each gun.stash wrote:I am curious - anyone here EDC a revolver and if so make/model and how you carry it?

Re: Revolver Carry
Since my son learned to walk, run, struggle, say no, etc I had to switch to something smaller and lighter than my glock 19. So I've got my father in laws S&W air weight .38 on semi permanent loan. I've been carrying it for 9 or so moons and it's been great. Easily conceals iwb or in pocket. Easy to take off belt and put in car (i travel to schools often for work). Sure it's only 5 rounds but 5 rounds on my hip is better than 15+1 in the safe at home.

Re: Revolver Carry
I've been giving this some thought too, but then I would have to go buy a revolver as I currently don't own one. I did have a couple some years ago but sold them. Buying a new gun right now is not in the cards for me at this time. Maybe later.stash wrote:I am curious - anyone here EDC a revolver and if so make/model and how you carry it?

When I do think about a revolver as a EDC, I keep falling back to the SA because of the capacity differences.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

Re: Revolver Carry
Same for me. My Colts are six-shooters, rather than the 5 shots of most smaller revolvers, but six isn't as good as the 13 in my Beretta.tomtexan wrote:I've been giving this some thought too, but then I would have to go buy a revolver as I currently don't own one.

Re: Revolver Carry
If I carried a revolver it would be as a bug more than likely boot carry.

Re: Revolver Carry
I carried a S&W PD342 38special for years. Ankle on duty as backup and off duty. That is the one gun I really regret selling. Shorts and a t-shirt were no problem. I carried it in a clip draw http://www.clipdraw.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I tried that clip draw with a glock 27 and did not like it, but on the revolver it was great.

Re: Revolver Carry
more often then not i could be found with a mdl 36 s&w in nickle plate finish.
its better to have a gun that you will always carry then one that sits at home.

Re: Revolver Carry
pocket carried a Ruger LCR .357 every day for awhile, and carry a S&W 642 .38 a lot. Can't beat a gun that's lightweight and you can throw in your front pocket.

Re: Revolver Carry
SW model 66 4" w/ CT grips, strongside OWB in either El Paso crosshair or Hume JIT, pick 2-6 box reload. Hand problems have forced a return to a revolver. When I cannot dress around the Smith (rarely) I put my little KT P380 in my pocket w/ extra mag and go about my business.

Re: Revolver Carry
my first carry was a revolver. probably carried it for a year....
if I could afford one of those pink or lav revolvers, I think they're charter arms, I'd probably consider going back to one.

Re: Revolver Carry
I carry a 1st Generation Charter Arms Undercover .38Spl. At first, I carried front-pocket w/ an Uncle Mikes holster; then I discovered that IWB appendix-carry was very comfortable. I'm using an old Safariland IWB clip holster now, but I'm looking for a good, tuckable holster...possibly a Bianchi or a Desantis.
....but I'm also thinking about upgrading to a neat little SP-101 .357Mag 3"....or a Charter Arms Pit Bull in .40S&W....or even a CW40 or Shield .40S&W....choices are hard...

Re: Revolver Carry
I carry G27 most days, but walk each night with Ruger LCR in a IWB clip holster. It's so light that it doesn't pull down my workout shorts.

Re: Revolver Carry
I carry a S&W 637PC Deep Cover/Wyatt/Gunsmoke J frame. Took off the clip grips and carry in a belly band or pocket holster. Sometimes if clothing permits I carry a Glock 19 in an OWB holster (High Noon Snapper or a DeSantis).
