Taurus snubbie
Whats the best way to carry a revolver? I've heard mexican style with a revolver is generally not as much of a concern as it would be with a pistol. Ideas for carry, for both me and my wife?

A holster works pretty good.
3:00 or 4:00 position.

Mexican Carry = NO-NO...OMO (in my rule book)
Holster carry only...even if in a pocket! Stay armed...stay safe!

During the summer (with cargo shorts on) I perfer to carry my j frame in a Mika pocket holster.
Other times IWB with a High Noon Hideaway at appendix. My better half has begun to carry crossdraw. She says it feels right that way. |

Carry my Taurus 617 in a smartcarry all summer. Works well for me. My wife purse carries her bulldog but we are looking at a better option for on body carry for her.

Desantis Nemesis in the front pocket. CTAC IWB. Both work well with snubbies.

While "Mexican carry" with any gun is a bad idea....I think it worse with the revolver for the simple reason that if and/or when the gun's cylinder makes it past the belt/belt line....gravity will take over since the majority of the gun's weight is concentrated on the cylinder.
As others have stated...get a good pocket holster, like this one from HBE Leatherworks (with my Taurus 905 9mm):  ...or get a good IWB/OWB belt holster, or even a Smart Carry holster.

My G/F prefers cross-draw with her J-frame. Seems to fit the female shape better. I've always felt cross-draw was dangerous, very easy to be disarmed.

Barami Hip Grips are an acceptable way to carry a revo IWB without a holster.
