Generally, no; I carry semi-automatic, recoil-operated, locked-breech pistol(s) day-to-day. If I'm out in the wilderness, either trail-riding, hiking, fishing, or hunting, you might see me OC'ing a .44 magnum revolver.
Does anyone open carry a revolver? I am curious about your gun and setup. What holster do you use? What do you carry your spare ammo in and who made it?
I've been looking for a revolver holster along the lines of the Safariland ALS. I want more retention than just a snap.
I sometimes carry my Colt Detective special in a JB holster.
I heard not long ago about a guy who OCs a peacemaker...
I heard not long ago about a guy who OCs a peacemaker. even got in a shootout with a criminal and used it.
model 29 smith & wesson 44 magnum in a basic uncle mike's nylon strap down with two speed loaders.
I often OC my Ruger Blackhawk .45 Long-colt; with a 5.5" barrel and a cheap single strap holster. Works fine for me, keep it at the 2 o'clock position. Keep extra ammo in my pocket with my keys and change

I often carry my "New Army" revolver in a cross draw rig I bought the other year. Sometimes I use the Civil War flap holster rig I also bought for the Uberti (black powder) but I prefer the cross draw more.
Hope this helps.

I do O.C. a 44 magnum every day,and I make my own holsters, and I engarve them with lots of designs,it is heavy but I like it, and everybody notice it when I walk in downtown Boise every friday,and I been stopped many times and been asked what caliber and why do I carry in the open, and I do have the answer for all those questions.
Why do you choose to carry a single action black powder revolver for self-defense?
Why not? As long as the weapon is properly loaded, and cared for they are very reliable. I used to shoot SASS with two Navies, I had less problem with mine than did some of the people with cartridge guns. The Army is a 45 caliber ball, or ballet at approx 800fps, not to mention that is sets fire to anyone close enough. I certainly would not be stupid enough to underestimate a cap and ball revolver.
