Any of you carry a revolver? If so what do you carry? I prefer revolver over pistol.

Got a S&W model 36 that carries fine, just prefer my Glock. If I were to buy a new revolver just for carry it would be a sp 101

I carried a 3" GP100 for a while. Certainly doable with a good belt and holster. Sold it because I didn't like the 3" barrel, lots of noise and fire outta that thing.

Why do you prefer a revolver?

“A revolver IS a pistol.”

Technically,,you’re wrong.Pistols and revolvers are both handguns.Pistols refer to handguns that have chamber integral with the barrel (semiautomatic)Also single shots.
The cylinder on a revolver is considered the chamber and can be moved out to be loaded.

Splitting hairs,I know.Kinda like calling a magazine a clip,technically they are different.

Because its what i went thru the academy with, and because of that its the one that i am most accurate with under combat simulation.

I would bet that the #1 problem many people have with a R, is too fat of a grip. You cannot get enough index finger on the trigger to stage double action. THIS is why revolvers that have a backstrap, such as a Smith & Wesson original Model 66 or 19, or the Ruger Security Six, are the best for law enf work. They have a backstrap. Others such as the Ruger GP 100 do not. So fat grips are often the end result of a revolver that has no frame backstrap.

The model 66 original K frame was probably the best duty revolver ever, even though it could not take a 357 load punishment full time.

Ruger SP101 grips fit on the GP100 and slim/shorten it up a lot. I did that to mine and it helped it tremendously.

Yea, it was. They got that one exactly right. Its a shame they started making them again with the shitty lock.

The python has really good dimensions as well but is stupidly expensive.

I dont like the SP101. Thats a heavy chunky little bitch for only 5 shots.

I've carried this thing in my vehicle everyday for the past 30 years.

I carry this Taurus 605 sometimes.



I’m not very accurate with it though.
