Conceal Carry Revolver

tucker · Apr 16, 2012

What revolver do you carry concealed. I am looking to get a new one, checking prices and just wanted to see what others like. Have a S&W 642, 38+P now. Really like it, but my wife has claimed. Looking hard at the Tarus 605, & Rutger SP101 in .357 Magnum.

Just wanted so see what others thought. I love the wheel guns....

Sp101 gets my vote...don't rule out the ruger lcr...the hogue grip helps with the recoil of the .357, it's next on my wishlist

Taurus 851 (shrouded hammer, .38 +P)

I picked it up as an understudy to a S&W, but quickly fell for it. The steel frame makes the +P rounds effortless, and for whatever reason, I can shoot it well.

It's funny in a way. . .I bought it as a cheap snubbie trainer, and it became my "go to" gun with a pocket holster.

I carry a S&W model 60 with a 1in barrel on an ankle holster daily.

My wife has a spurless & ported 605. She loves it.

Another vote for the SP101 here.

the SP101 gets my vote. It was what I carried for awhile. One fine revolver. Got certified with it and it felt fine on the 4 o'clock hip. Now, though, it serves as a second to my LC9.

lcr357 is my favorite. used to carry a 640, also a great choice. I dont now how bad you can go with a smith or ruger snubbie.

I also like my Taurus Snubbie. This is my Taurus 650 chambered in .357 magnum. Purchased for under $300 I think that it is hard to beat!

For those that are interested, Ruger now offers a compact grip for the LCR. It is a Hogue product that seems only available through Ruger.com

I picked one up and installed it on my LCR and am pretty happy with it. I have not carried it, but the "tamer" grip that the gun came with seemed to big and tacky to work well with front pocket carry. If/when I get a proper fitting pocket holster, I might try it out.
