Re: Personal Carry Revolver Recommendations
I recently bought a Smith 66-8 with a 2.75" bbl. I liked the fact that Smith had brought back the K frame and reinforced the forcing cone so that it could better withstand magnums. I also like how the lockup had been re-engineered so that a full length ejector rod could be used in an under 3" gun.
I have not been able to carry it yet. I am having a bit of difficulty finding the correct holster online. I also want to try a couple different grips and probably a fiber optic front site.
I really enjoy shooting it though, especially with federal 158 gr magnums. Feels great to fire. Not uncomfortable at all, stout though.

Re: Personal Carry Revolver Recommendations
I love my ruger sp101 in 357 with snub nose barrel, I am impressed with how accurate I am with it being a snubby, yes its a bit heavier than others but that helps with absorbing recoil when shooting it.

Can't beat a S&W Airweight Chiefs Special. Light , reliable , easy to check/load/unload.

Re: Personal Carry Revolver Recommendations
When I'm not carrying a 1911, I carry a S&W 686, an L-frame revolver with a 4 inch barrel and 7-shot capacity. Always loaded with .357 magnum rounds, and with at least two speedloaders, but sometimes up to four if it's jacket weather and I have the available pockets.
Keep in mind that I typically open carry in warmer weather, so it might be too bulky for you. But, if that's not an issue, it's a dream to shoot.

Re: Personal Carry Revolver Recommendations
I've got a lightweight S+W revolver .38Spl +P thats also called a bodyguard.
It has a built-in laser.
I carry it IWB appendix, strong side.
My tubby gut provides ample coverage.
" a revolvers is like a fork. Pick it up and it works"
Not always true, but revolver reliability is legendary and they are immune to "Limp-wristing" issues.
That's my EDC unless I head towards a higher liability area.
Then the Glock .40 comes outAmerican by BIRTH, Infidel by CHOICE
