Perfect carry revolver?

Alan · Jun 13, 2025

What is your preferred carry revolver and what makes it your top choice? I'd love to hear from everyone who carries revolvers on a daily basis about their experiences and recommendations in practical scenarios.

Model 19-3 snubby
The K Frame fits the hand so well and rides very well

I think the Ruger LCR is a good option for a revolver, light, and can conceal well

Depending on what I’m wearing, I often wear a S&W 442UC in a Harry’s appendix holster.

My current OWB carry revolver is my 3” S&W 686+ in a thumb-break Desantis holster.

Someone please mention the Colt Detective Special. I carried one for nearly 30 years as a back-up and off-duty gun. A sweet piece.

Agreed! I really like my Ruger LCR 357. Shooting .38’s or +P’s a breeze!

I carry a Colt King Cobra 3” everyday in a Kramer iwb. Perfect size and weight for a magnum and holds 6 rounds. When I carry other guns, I always want to come back to the Cobra. I also have a M66 combat master with trigger work done at S&W. Will most likely be carrying it in the cooler months.

I very rarely carry a revolver but when I do it is a S&W 340 PD, 357 magnum. A lot of bang for the buck. Also have a Kimber K6S but gets very little carry time. I just prefer auto loaders.

Mine is a Ruger Security 6 357 Mag 2.75 BBL.

My carry revolver is a Ruger LCR chambered in 32 H&R magnum in a pocket holster made by Aholster.

Thought I would post a couple pictures

to show the pocket holster made by Aholster.

That looks like a great carry revolver

My usual carry is a commander size 1911, but I frequently carry a S&W J frame, 5 shot as back up.

Have carried several over the years ranging from a M38 Smith to a LCR in .327 Federal, never felt under armed with any of them..

I have the same 2 357's but carry a Glock 10mm as of late. Just don't carry the revolvers. My only other revolver is a S&W 642, 38 caliber.

Perfect carry revolver?
