Perfect carry revolver?

[Alan]

What’s your go-to revolver for everyday carry and what makes it your top choice? I’m interested in hearing from those who rely on wheelguns daily about their real-world experiences and recommendations.

I carry a S&W Model 65-2 3" 357 Magnum IWB 3 o'clock in an Azula leather holster. It's light enough to carry comfortably and heavy enough to be comfortable shooting at the range. Six shot vs five is a plus over some lighter options.

Ruger SP 101, 3 1/16th was my favorite.
Mine was a. 357 model, but the .327 Federal Mag. looks interesting, too.

I use a Colt Detective Special .38 - small, 6 shots, and points naturally.

I use speed strips for faster reloads instead of loose rounds. What .357 loads are you using in that S&W for carry?

I usually load the Model 65 with Federal HST micro 130gr 38+P which are no longer available unfortunately. Made for snubs. 13 inches penetration/100% expansion .75 inch per Luckygunner. The recoil is very tame. Wish I had more.

I recently bought a Colt DS(1978) myself. Nice little six shooter. I might carry it as a BUG.

I rotate between a S&W BG38 and a S&W 351c

I used to own the same as this. To this day, I'm still regretting why I sold it

I usually go with my Ruger LCR in .357 Magnum. It’s super lightweight and so easy to conceal when I need to. The trigger is also surprisingly smooth for a snub-nose. Most of the time, I stick with .38 Special +P for better control, but it’s comforting to know I can switch to .357 if I ever need a little extra punch. It’s been really reliable for me, and I love how simple it is to keep in good shape
