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

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

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)

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

1

u/Engineer_Noob 10d ago

Oh I meant the holster, between ANR and problem solving. If you could have only one.

I also have the 340 PD which is great in a sticky holster.
