If you had to pick a wheel gun for everyday all season carry what is your choice? Barrel length, caliber, brand, finish, ect..

3" Ruger SP-101 - .357 mag - D/A S/A - OWB

Been carrying it 5-6 days a week, all year long, since December 2010

Either a Ruger GP-100 in stainless steel with a 4 inch barrel in .357 or a Smith & Wesson Model 66, square butt, 4 inch barrel in 357 also. These are my two favorites for EDC. Both a quality guns that fit my hand well and I trust to go bang when needed (If I keep it loaded at least).

S&W Model 19 4" or Model 27 3½" OWB

S&W M19/M66 2 1/2” barrel.
S&W J Frame enclosed hammer.

Okay, so I currently own two Ruger revolvers. I have an old but quite serviceable Police Service Six in .38 Special only (probably made for a security guard contract back in the day) and a GP-100 Match Champion .357 Magnum. They are both great 4 inch barrel revolvers, super reliable and more accurate than I am. However, there is still one I would like to have and that is a GP-100 Wiley Clapp model with the 3 inch barrel. IF I could ever find one for a decent price, I would buy it and carry it in a Simply Rugged holster, likely with .38 Special +P "FBI loads" (LSWCHP).

My Smith & Weeson 686-6: 4", SS.

I’ve been keeping a heavy eye on the new colt king cobra and pythons. The Python would be my choice. 4.25” barrel 357 magnum. To me there’s no better looking handgun period.

I carry a S&W 69. 44 mag with 4” barrel stainless, when I carry a revolver.
Wife’s EDC is a S & W 640. Scadium in .357 1.875” barrel. She can shoot the eyes out of a mosquito with it

I wouldn't mind a shorter barreled S&W (3"-4") in .44 Mag to go along with my 6" 629. The 6" is a nice revolver for the range or when out hunting, but is a bit oversize for daily carry. Also wouldn't mind a J/K in .357. It's only secondary as it's an additional caliber compared to .44 where I have multiples already.

I hate this topic. I sold my only wheel gun a few years ago when I decided to consolidate calibers. I didn't much regret doing away with .380 semi-autos, but I almost immediately regretted getting rid of my sole .357. And I've wanted a new one for a couple of years. No money for it, though. And under Biden's new Put America into Recession Again economics plan, I don't see the money happening in the near future, either. And now I can't stop reading this topic about favorite wheel guns.

I wouldn't mind having a S&W 627 v-comp, don't know it's something I would carry though. Carry I'd be looking at one of the hammerless ones, S&W 340PD maybe.

This is the one I grab, always.
