So, who else still carries a S&W Airweight? anyone else but me?!

[Bushwick100]

Actually, i carry 2, a 442, and a 637. the old NY reload. i know they kick like a mule, are slower to reload, have limited capacity, tougher to shoot accurately... blah, blah, blah. i love and trust the venerable Js, and have plenty of trigger time on mine. what say the crowd? am i a dinosaur, caveman, throwback? i admit i am 48, and love old detective movies. i have carried one as a back up for work, and as a civilian for over 20 years now. ready, GO!

my wife carrys this revolver. She loves it.

My brother calls it me "old man gun" but I love my Model 12 (6 shot) .38 in an old Tex Shoemaker holster.

637 with bobbed hammer, DAO action job, for me.
I don't normally carry the five round speedloader or the rubber speed strip on my person, but they are in the center console of my vehicle or otherwise usually close by.

P.S. -- I am definitely not happy with the fact that this gun only holds 5 rounds, and I can't shoot really tight groups with it like I could a 3 inch barreled semi auto.
But the concealability (especially as to that small grip) makes all the difference.

642 pc for now. I usually do not leave the house without some form of a J Frame on me.

I carry a 638 pretty often. For me it is a close up gun, but I can shoot it fairly accurate at 10 yards and I am confident enough with it.

My 642 usually lives in my jacket pocket in cooler weather. DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster.

My way of going, too.

Normally has the wood grips but I've been trying out a Pachmeyer.

My 340pd has been at my side for most of its life since new. Used to carry in a diff holster that wore some of the finish off.

I am currently without an air weight but often pocket carry my Model 60 for many of the same reasons previously mentioned. I am going to grab another. I just cant decide which model I want. I would love to carry my Glock 19 everyday but work dress requirements as well as lower back pain leaves pocket carry as my most common choice. I have tried other options and my 43 is a better option on paper but doesnt come from my pocket as easy as my J frame. I shoot enough 38 reloads to feel pretty good about my chances.

guess i should have included models like 40, 60, 36, 49 for the steelies... i have a couple of those too, but the airweights seem to get the nod more than the steel js. guess like a couple other posters, i'm in my late forties, am in desperate need of back surgery, but won't leave the house without a gun on me. had a G42, and a couple of LCPs over the years, but the venerable J frame is still my go to. guess there's a reason S&W continues to churn 'em out after 68 years!
