Just kidding a good reminder especially this time of year
I have an ankle holster for one of my snub nose .44spcls …. It is a 5 shot and lightweight (Bulldog) and I carry a short bbl 41mag on a shoulder holster quite frequently also. I have a few light 44/41 mags that do just fine in close quarter shootings (up to about 30+- feet I can put them in a tight circle, one handed a lot of the time) .
I do love my .45 autos and 9mm autos too ! So I don’t discount anything….I carry a variety of them !!
Same. The P365 has been a constant after experiencing the difference from a 92x as a daily. But sometimes you want to dress it up, kill em with class as I've heard before... so a .357 with a big butt grip fits the bill. Mind you my .45 with the cnc milled grips is also a looker.I have an ankle holster for one of my snub nose .44spcls ….

latex gloves and friction tape DJD.
I've started to appendix carry, IWB, an 8.5" S&W 500 Magnum.
...Strangest thing, I have never had more women approach me initiating general conversation in my life.

Exactly. In my younger days I've carried a 6" model 29 in a shoulder rig
If it works and ain't broke, don't fix it
My "Always" Gun is an old, well-worn Smith & Wesson Model 442--Sometimes it's in a Fanny Pack, sometimes it's in a Pocket Holster, sometimes it's AIWB--But it's ALWAYS with me...
Sometimes I will carry a SECOND J-Frame--Usually a 640-3 or a 642 with the uncommon 2 & 1/2" Barrel, sometimes I carry a K-Frame Snub and once in a while I'll carry a Model 242 pre-lock--I'm just more comfortable with Revolvers, know how to "Run" one pretty well and am well aware of their limitations--Probably won't ever catch me carrying a Glock or clone thereof...

Look at this revolver. My grandpa carried it on duty as a cop, chief of NYC, and CCw.
Next to it is my carry gun. Same weight, 3x the rounds of better ammo, 3x quicker to reload, and I can make head shots reliably at 50 yards.
Hard to argue with that, but I will not suggest the modern stuff looks cooler or “feels better” thank old stuff.

Nothing wrong with carrying a revolver. I carry one from time to time.
Folks that claim they have poor triggers, or are difficult to shoot, are making up crap to make themselves feel better about their piss poor capabilities.
A revolver is no better or worse......it's just different. They have their pros and cons.
In my experience, a comparable quality revolver that has been maintained is more reliable than a semi-auto that has been retained. When there is a "malfunction" with a revolver, it tends to be the ammo that caused it. I have seen ammo issues completely lock up a revolver, however. Lock it up to the point that you need tools to fix it.
The ammo is less critical to functioning in a revolver than it is in a pistol. In most cases, if it fits in the cylinder, then it's good to go. Same can't be said of a pistol round that fits in a magazine.
I shot Revolver in USPSA off and on for a few years. You end up figuring out what they can and can't do well.
