How many here carry a revolver? Which one?

[wjv]

S&W 442 w/Crimson Trace grips

OR

S&W Shield Gen 1 with Magguts +1 mods so my flush mags are 8 rnds and my "extended" mags are 9 rnds.

Been carrying the Shield more often every since the "mostly peaceful" ANTIFA/BLM insurrection riots. . .

* And yes, I consider burning Federal buildings, police stations and businesses far closer to insurrection, than wandering aimlessly through the Capitol bldg.

Taurus Model 85 has always gotten good reviews as a Five shooter and in 2018 they released the 856 which is a six shot 38 based on the 85.

I have a really old Taurus 85CH.
Very good gun. Won't hold up to lot of +P rounds like a SP101 but is ok for limited +P use as it is all steel.

 

[Tlock]

On occasion I will carry my kimber k6....love that gun!

My satin SS Ruger SP-101 snubbie is dressed with Pachmayr Rosewood to match to the MASC holster. This rig is the only revolver in my EDC rotation, and I carry it most often during colder months when it's easier to conceal because a bit of extra clothing is normal. I keep it loaded with Underwood's 38+P Xtreme Penetrator for that same reason.

Not a light weight carry!

 

[tkdguy]

SW 442 with 38 sp or + p ammo; may carry 22 mag pug as well. Or, Ruger LCP II in 22. All very easy to carry on different parts of my frame.

True. On the plus side, it is fun to shoot, not punishment. In contrast, my lightweight revolver (LCR9) can smack down my motivation to practice within 15 rounds.

I like my little Charter Arms .38 Rosco. Great little carry gun. Couple of speed strips in the back pocket, good to go.

 

[Ben B.]

LCR .38, sometimes a .38 642. I want a .327 LCR if I can find a good deal on a used one.

 

[JCMILLER58]

I have a Ruger LCR in 9mm I carry ocasionally.

 

[nammac]

This has been getting more and more carry time, S&W 642. Still amazed by how light it is, even loaded with the holster, coming in at 19.4 oz…. Easiest all day carry since the Springfield 911 in .380.

What's a "Rosco"?

 

[Knobgoblin]

What's a "Rosco"?

A heater
A rod
A pocket rocket
Etc.

What's a "Rosco"?

Haha! It's a slang term for a carry gun. The .38 I was talking about is a Charter Arms undercover. Apologies for the confusion.

Why is the term "Roscoe" used for guns?

Answer: It just appeared within literature. There’s a couple of different claims of the first usage of the term, but there’s isn’t any reasonable evidence as to the actual origin of the term, why they actually call it that. The most commonly cited origin of the term is Roscoe Arbuckle, but I don...

No worries.
I figured it was an Undercover, but I thought "Rosco" was a variation of that gun that I wasn't aware.
One of those "Oh!" moments.
Thanks for letting me know anyways.
