Anyone OC a revolver at all?

If so, what caliber/model/rig etc.

Smith 340sc with .38 +p's. Don't like the .357s in that light a package!!:shock:

I carry in either a Bob Mernickle or a Wild Bill's OWB rig, either of which I highly recommend.



Love my wheelies!

S&W 327 TRR8
S&W 625

Occasionally a J-Frame...well, it's technically openly carried.

Yes, mostly a 2 1/2" S.&W. Mod. 66 in an Uncle Mike's paddle crossdraw or an S.&W. Mod. 28 Highway Patrolman the same way or an S.&W. Model of 1917 (made in 1918) in a flap holster or an Uncle Mike's vertical shoulder rig. Sometimes I carry the Mod. 66 in a shoulder rig as well & sometimes it's in an IWB outside of my trousers & behind my belt.On rare occaisions, I'll Mexican carry a 6" Colt Army Special .32-20. It's been a long time since I packed a self-shucker.

Ruger SP101 2" "hammerless" in a Ross holster. The short profile of the snubby, plus the way the holster attaches to the belt (belt slot across the back of the holster) means that the entire thing rides pretty high, and works well as a CC holster too as long as I can wear a jacket or a long shirt untucked.

I do!



I carry my Taurus 617 7 shot, .357 Magnum Snubby.



I carry it in aBianchi Model X16L Shoulder holster. It works very well during the winter as it is very comfortable and if I am wearing a coat it, I can just reach in for my gun and not have to sweep my coat out of the way.

Depending on the weather and style of clothing I may carry either a G26 or a S&W .357 revolver.

I've NEVER had an unpleaseant experience with the Glock, but the revolver has resulted in a few hassles. The revolver, being all bright and shiny is easier to spot than the 'evil black' Glock.

I think more folks assume you are a LEO when you carry a black semi-auto.

I have a friend who cut down a Remington style .44 cap & ball revolver to 4" for a carry gun. He doesn't OC but he uses it to CC. I borrowed it for a couple months & lent him an old Smith & Wesson M & P 5" nickel plate while I had his gun. I liked it. When I have the $ to spend, I'll be acquiring a pair of stainless steel Remington style .44 cap & ball revolvers to cut down to 4" for my own self. Sometimes I just like the smell of sulphur without having to eat eggs & drink beer.
