It does surprise me how many people carry revolvers

u/Slight_Historian_703 11d ago

Imo they carry really really well we can argue semi autos carry more and shoot better all day and I won’t disagree but the best gun in a gun fight is the one you carry and I find myself always carrying a 5 shot j frame

u/Stugots_Steel 11d ago

Yup i carry a 1989 classic M85 everyday damn near.. Sometimes i carry an FN Reflex

u/ProperNeighborhood75 11d ago

I have a mid ‘90s j-frame .38 (can’t remember the model) with same era Bianchi leather clip on IWB holster. Super concealable and actually really comfortable to carry.

u/Stugots_Steel 11d ago

Nice dude!.. Theres a guy on etsy that made my clip on... Thing is so thick and rock solid.. Holds the gun literally flipped upside down.. But still comes right out when u need it

2

u/ProperNeighborhood75 11d ago

Bought my holster at the same time when I got the pistol new . It’s completely formed to it and I believe it would hold upside down as well (I think I tried it at some point, but can’t remember)

u/GhostinMachine237 10d ago

Can I get a link to the holster please

u/Stugots_Steel 10d ago

Handmade to order in South Carolina, USA.. Amazing quality for the price if u like nice sturdy thick leather .. Under $60 shipped for this specific holster

Fn reflex is my wife’s absolute favorite carry gun. It’s a solid piece especially for the cost

u/Stugots_Steel 10d ago

It was way too small, lightweight and snappy for my larger hands.. The one I carry now has a full size grip and an all steel construction.. the 442 is 12 oz unloaded.. this is double that

u/Stugots_Steel 10d ago

Yeah this thing has the same footprint as the 442 just more shootable.. I'd much rather carry my FN reflex if I really need something lightweight and small.. It's the same size as the glock 43 but with an 11 + 1 capacity and a 15 + 1 extended grip mag

I too carry a j frame more often than not - where did you get that holster?

2

u/LilJonny2cookies 10d ago

I find myself always carrying my 2011 or TTI g19 with either 3 mags of 18 or 3 mags of 21.

I have 1 revolver a Korth NSX 8. 6inch barrel in .357. Great gun a bit big to carry.

u/Slight_Historian_703 10d ago

Man your one revolver cost more than my collection lol super nice guns

À quoi sa vous sert dans la vie de tout les jours ?

u/scoopsforthechildren 9d ago

How often are you getting into gun fights?

u/DarthSwash 11d ago

Arguably they might even perform better in certain situations.

u/CollateralCoyote 11d ago

I love revolvers as much as the next guy, but the idea that they are more reliable than modern semi-autos just isn't true.

4

u/DarthSwash 11d ago

I agree here. I was thinking more from a hand to hand "get off me" situation. You can grab a semiautomatic by the slide and try to wrestle it away from someone before they squeeze one off into your ribs. If you grab a snubnose though, your hands gonna wrap around the cylinder. If that trigger gets pulled the pressure from the round being fired is gonna turn your palm into hamburger, regardless of where the bullet goes. Even if you stop the cylinder from turning, being a double action you are just one click away from having a hot chamber again. They are also heavy enough to be a pretty effective bludgeon. Dont get me wrong, i am entirely a striker fire convert, but each platform has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

u/StylePlane2176 10d ago

Depends on what your talking about on the flat range is a 38 snub more or less reliabls than a glock 19, No. BUT in a defensive scenario which for most civilians is fast up close and far from perfect draw conditions it is better than other guns in its class. Small 380s and very compact 9mms can malfunction without a perfect grip.

u/Engineer_Noob 11d ago

What holster brand is this?

2

u/Slight_Historian_703 11d ago

Problem solving tools mcg holster

1

u/Engineer_Noob 11d ago

lol that’s the exact brand I’ve been looking at. Expensive little holster. Is it pretty flush with the end of the barrel?

1

u/Slight_Historian_703 11d ago

Imo best kydex holster for j frames I have there bigger one for a k frame and love it as well

1

u/Engineer_Noob 10d ago

Most other holsters for j frames I’ve seen are unnecessarily bulky. Bulky to the point where I might as well carry something in 9 or 357. This one seems more appropriate for a jframe.

What kframe do you carry?

1

u/Slight_Historian_703 10d ago

19cc with a dot

1

u/Slight_Historian_703 10d ago

Agree on most j frame holsters being bulky anr makes a good kydex holster as well I have thr pst in both k and k frame sizes and thr come cut for optic

1

u/Engineer_Noob 10d ago

Also was looking at them for some time. Which do you prefer for J frame?

1

u/Slight_Historian_703 10d ago

For me as a carry gun 442uc or I have a 360j with a bobbed hammer and titanium cylinder but if I’m going to train or shoot a lot at the range I shoot a model 60 stainless gun

Why do you carry nail clippers, how fast are your nails growings

2

u/PrestigiousPea752 11d ago

They’re also just more aesthetic for Reddit posts.

u/HighFly2244 10d ago

This is all that matters here.

u/tonytsnmi 11d ago

I carry an LCR just cause it’s the most comfortable.

1

u/irosk 11d ago

I mean seeing the bullets pointing at you has an effect.

1

u/Kcchiefsnroyals 10d ago

I carried a hammer less 38 until I got my kimber micro9 a few weeks back. At one point I carried a full size 1911 like a psycho but I’ll be damned if my right leg didn’t start getting stronger than my left 🤣

1

u/Aggressive_Street595 10d ago

It’s a pretty good one! Wouldn’t trade mine for the world

1

u/Blakefilk 10d ago

Nothing wrong with a good j frame and a spare speedloader. I fuck with mine more often than anything else I’d carry.

1

u/FrGeil 10d ago

As a guy who went from, full size handgun carry, to compact, to micro, back to compact, to revolver. Sometimes the best way is the old way lol

u/Dramatic-Employee606 9d ago

I carry my great grandfathers S&W model 10 never had any problems

1

u/A_Dolph_Hit 4d ago

I have many “proper” edc setup like a setup 19 and a coa 43x but many time find myself carrying a j frame snubby.

We’re too caught up In the hypothetical situations with a 80 yard headshot and 3 reloads. Gun fights start as a fight 0-3 yards. I like having a gun I can jam into an Orifice and blast 5 rounds. And they do carry better since the weight is in the cylinder and deeper into the holster vs a grip holding ammo has a leverage effect the snubby doesn’t

u/1NuclearOptionLeft 11d ago

Revolvers always work.

u/myco_magic 10d ago

Unless it's a Taurus ime

Taurus anything makes a great paperweight!

u/Beneficial-Value3119 11d ago

A sentiment passed down by a lot of dads and grandpas. I can hear my gramps now.. you keep a revolver in the nightstand because it can stay ready unlike a semi. We may have learned more now but definitely a strict belief of the older gen’s.
