Went back to old school carry
Prior I was carrying semi auto for CC. Lately, I just felt the urge to go back to what I was trained with and what I feel most comfortable. I wanted something concealable yet powerful. I now carry a Taurus 605 SS revolver. It only holds 5 rounds but they are .357. It shoots really well and I use the .357 mag Critical Defense rounds. I was not sure about Taurus as I used to only carry S&W revolvers. Looking at the new Taurus it seems very well made, has a great double action pull and fits in any J frame holster. I know most of y'all on this site carry semi-autos especially the younger folk, but I wanted to go back to a revolver.

Re: Went back to old school carry
I'm a young guy (26 years old), but I still carry a small J frame S&W 637 in .38 special during the warmer months. I also carry a 686 SSR in .357 magnum in a shoulder holster during the winter months, and use my J frame as a backup gun. However, I purchased a Glock 19 last fall, and I'll most likely opt for that in a shoulder holster this winter. I will always carry a J frame revolver in my pocket as a backup gun though. Nothing beats the reliability of a revolver IMO.

I carried a 5 shot 38 for over 20 years on my own time.
But when Islamists were imported by Obama at unprecedented levels, and Islamist mass murder became more prevalent, I went higher capacity.
It used to be that the most likely defensive encounter would be an assault, robbery, or break in, and I carried accordingly.
Now that pre-planned, religiously sanctioned, Islamist mass murder is on the rise worldwide, it is more prudent to be better trained and better armed than years past.
It's a shame though, because for power and reliability, you can't do much better than a 357 revolver.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Where's the picture of the kid holding a revolver and a 30 round clip under the grip, backwards.

I carry a 640-1 with crimson trace laser grip. 357 should be enough. I only see terrorists on tv. Not saying it couldn't happen around me, but if I was batteling terrorists I'd like a rifle. I'm not against high cap at all, mostly just easier to grab what's already holstered and ready to go.

j-frame EDC 99% of the time.
There is something satisfying about the ease and reliability of a wheel gun.
