Does anyone carry wheelguns as primary anymore? - Page 3

I carry my S&W model 66 3" quite a lot.
It's a fine accurate revolver.

I have only carried revolvers.Never an auto....although a glock 26 is calling my name...I carry either my SP101 or my Rossi both in 357(although I generally carry the 135 gr +p's)

While my BHP is my primary CCW piece, I use a J frame in a paddle holster for a quick throw on ,don't want to be bothered/don't have time to holster up the BHP carry piece.

Or, If I'm going somewhere where I can't carry inside, it fits my glove box with less rearranging (read removal) of the usual contets than the BHP.

Normally its one of my 1911's (S.A. Micro preferred) but i initially bought a Taurus model 85 ultralight 38 for ccw duty.
but as was said it was a "natural progression" of things when i got into the 1911 "scene" for caliber and capacity.
but i do still love my lil snubby. 100% reliable fer sure.

Another primary 642 carrier here. I have found it going with me nearly all the time because of how easily it slips into a pocket.

Reload strips seem to be very hard to come by though, and I refuse to buy a round speedloader, so I am limited to 5 shots. So far, that is 5 more than I have needed thank goodness.

If anyone can PM me a source for speed strips, I would appreciate it dearly.

Thanks for the link! Just didn't want to junk up the thread with a diversion. All the people I have talked to locally said they had been out of production for 10 years..

I figured I was looking for a Unicorn. Ordering a set now, thanks again.

Smith and Wesson Model 37 +P, However with things getting more and more terrible everyday I am really thinking about carrying my 1911 everyday. I don't know. One thing about wheel guns is you have less chance of a failure, so you can bet that whenever you pull the trigger she is going to go bang. However, you do suffer in accuracy if you don't practice.

Always two, usually three.

For the past several months, a 329PD, a 296, and a 642.

At times the 329PD gives way to a 1911.
