Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire If you HAD to carry a revolver as your EDC...

Is that an LED sight on the grip?

naa mini bugout 22lr. ruger lcr 22lr. s&w 642 or taurus 85 38sp. all regular ccw choices. only semiauto ccw is a keltec p32. cannot post photos due to size limits here, too bad.

the naa may unobtrusively go anyplace (without a metal detector) and thus is a must-have, get cv revision grips. any 38sp lightweight j frame needs fuller grips and wadcutter ammo. i wish that there was an affordable 32 long j frame on the market.

I carry a S&W 638 air weight in 38 spl. My wife has a LCR 38 spl in her purse. We also have a Ruger LCR 22 that we practice with & sometimes it's in my pocket when we go for a walk along the river trail.

I pocket carry a 642, no lock 38 on occasion with a grip that has a slight hook so it will hang off the pocket edge and not end up sideways in the bottom of my pocket.

It's a nice little rig, I like it but I like my wife's lcr better.

It's a crimson trace lasergrip. I think it's the following:

Colt Defective Special Win. Silvertip HP and two speed strips. How’s that for Old School Cool?

Absolutely. Six shots, and just a hair larger than a J-Frame. Carried an old school 1950s Detective Special myself for many years.

I carried an S&W 649 stainless humpback snubby for years. My revolver of choice now is a Smith 642 loaded with 135 grain Gold Dot short barrel +P with 5 more on a speed strip in my pocket. Don't carry a revolver much for EDC these days. A 3" SP-101 in a good holster would be mighty comforting in harms way.

Front sight was done by the factory, when they still did stuff like that.

I carry a S&W 432PD. Anything bigger is a nuisance. If I thought I would probably be attacked, I'd change my plans. Tactics beat weapons.

If I couldn't change my plans, I'd take a long gun. That's why the AR is always in the truck.

3" Model 65.

I prefer the low, fixed sights for carry. They don't even think about snagging on anything, and in the situation where you would really need it in a hurry who's looking down sights?

I do carry this one quite a bit.

Sights? we don't need no stink'n sights.

Like. Same with the 13.

have a Kimber 3 inch DASA that covers the same territory , but is a little more compact

If I wore any of my revolvers I would need to wear a drover coat😆

I totally agree. I carry a S&W 442 with a notch for a sight and a 2" barrel. I agree that a longer sight radius and adjustable sights are great for target shooting, but most self defense shooting are 7 to 10 feet , maybe 20 feet at the extreme. You don't net perfect sights or a long sight radius for that type of shooting. If you shoot someone with your adjustable sights and long barrel across the parking lot you are most likely to face charges, as the is no imitate threat. At the ranges mentioned 5 shots is plenty 1 or 2 does the job to disable the threat. My plan at home is to made enough noise with the hand gun until I can get to my shotgun. A hand gun is useless to the average guy that doesn't practice A LOT. my self include.

LCR in chambering and barrel length of choice.

No contest IMO.

If you’re not talking a Colt or a lowly Smith, it’s blasphemy.

If they weren't so butt ugly..

Mackay, is that a piece of leather on the back frame?
