Jerry it is just preference. I I like carrying the 357 some days, then the 44 Special another. Or the 38 and then the 9mm. I shoot em all good and the guns are great carry pieces.

Anybody else see that model name and think Little Cute Revolver?
Back to the OP's point, I'd carry my Ruger Sec Six if I could find the right holster. My 6" Python is not a good choice.

Indeed! I have my Thunder 380 for EDC and it's fine.
Rotations remind me of a friend years ago who had three Harleys, an early Sportster, a Knucklehead and a Shovelhead. All three had different shift/brake setups. Early Sportsters shifted on the right like the British bikes they were marketed against, the Knuckle had a hand shift and the later Shovelhead shifted with the left foot. Would be like me going from my Thunder with the right thumb safety to my wife's Five Seven with the index finger safety. Not good in a moment of stress and needing to fall back on muscle memory.

Many ignored that you have to carry concealed to play on this question. .357 Magnum in a serious loading is a challenge.

Yep. Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake holster, or their #120.

I've done it a few times with my dad's Police Service Six, the gun he carried during a brief stint as a rural, high-country Colorado deputy. The gun became mine when he passed in 2010, and it sometimes gets carried around that anniversary. When it does, it rides in an IWB holster worn between the pants and belt.

I carry a Ruger LCR 357. I love that gun. Smooth DA trigger and it's just a nice size and weight.

Benp, who made that holster? I don't recognize the logo.

They make holsters for J frames and I contacted them to see if it was possible for them to do a J Frame with a 3” barrel.
Wasn’t a problem. Very good to deal with.

I have been carrying my 637 in my pocket a lot but will be going to something a little bigger as it gets colder
Pull that sucker out of the holster and take another picture for me.
