Indeed. Great outfit.

Just picked up a S&W 442 that I'll carry in formal events. Any recommendations on appendix carry holsters? Also looking to get wood grips for it.

I like this Cardini, very comfortable for appendix carry…. Picked it up off Amazon but Cardini sells directly. Nicely lined to protect the finish of the revolver…

Those are Altamont grips on a 642 in the picture. Picked them up for $20, new off eBay…

Is that one of the new production snake guns?

No, it's an older one! I have a new stainless 6 inch, very nice quality, I'd say Colts back where they should be!

He's already looked it over.....you are right of course , but not likely correct. I'd carry it.

No. There's no telling how it'll function save by firing with full-power ammunition.

I, as in ME, would still carry it

Threads like this that have expanded to several pages can be interesting to re-read to see what's transpired since I first posted.
What I find funny with this thread is that it took nearly a 3 year break and then took off.

I no longer have the Model 69 I had in 2019. It was swapped for a 3" Model 60-15 in 357 that's been with me most days since then. The exceptions to that rule are a 642 Airweight Ladysmith and my 1911. The Ladysmith belongs to my wife and she doesn't carry it anymore. I find it fantastic for pocket carry or in my backpack when dirtbike riding.
The 60.

Smith & Wesson 642

Prefer a 9 mil for daily carry compared to comparative bulk of a revolver, but when it comes to hunting (or otherwise being in the wild) then 475 Linebaugh revolver.

Good choice @orygun ! - What brand and model holster do you have there?

 

[Flyer]

S&W 38 442 Airweight occasionally with plus P's in a FIST kydex clip holster. Pocket and appendix carry normally.
Must admit the Glock 43 has taken over the role lately though.

 

[USAF Medic]

Colt Cobra. I use a pocket for a holster,

When camping. I don't know how or why but my wife's LadySmith .357 is so comfortable in hybrid leather.

How many here carry a revolver?

Which one?

I've been considering trying a revolver in 38 for daily concealment.

Thanks!

I carry a Ruger LCP chambered in 327 Fed Mag. and really like it. It's very concealable and reasonably comfortable for a compact. The reason I went with that caliber is, I get 6 rounds instead of five. However, I discovered that the 327 Fed Mags are a very hot round and tend to over-penetrate so I load it with 32 S&W Long. Much more controllable and great penetration. 8 -10 inches into ballistic gel through four layers of denim (if I'm remembering correctly).

I bought some Gold Dot Short barrel 100 grain 327, it is not as 'hot' as the American Eagle 100 Grain, which is smoking hot, I also have AE in 85 grain, a lot tamer. I use the same gun.

 

[Member 34319]

That 327 sure looks great. Wish it was a bit more popular and available.

 

[DeanMk]

I wonder how the .327 LCP compares to a .327 SP101?
Is it that much smaller? Lighter?
How are they to shoot, comparitively?

......this sounds like a job for YouTube...
