i have a small .22 caliber revolver but that is mybathroom gun..nothing like getting caught with your pants down in more then one way!!! ive carried it a few times just because i was going somewhere where nobody needed to know i have a gun at all...and it had better ballistics then the small .25 auto i usually carry on my ankle...i carried a rossi 351 in 38spl for a few months and it did its job just fine..its just after carrying semi autos most of the time i felt undergunned and i could never find a decent speedloader i felt was fast enough for me to use right...so i stick with auto's....the small .22 only comes out say when im going to a job interview and i want some firepower but cant at all be detected....on occasion ive been know to have the .22 on one ankle and the .25 on the other...just in case i run into a big rat i suppose:dude:....one day ill have enough money to get a decent revolver again..the misses really wants a 38spl...sounds like a good enough reason to me to splurge on one...:lol:

My primary carry piece is a Smith 411 (.40) though I love my compact Kimber and of course a J-frame is perfect for some occasions. Hope this answers your question.

I just bought my S&W airweight! I love this little BUG. It is now part of my every day carry. I keep it in one pocket and anything else I'm carrying in a strongside holster.
