5 or 6?

[420Stainless]

I don't often carry a revolver, but when I do it is six or seven. Nothing against 5, just don't have any of those.

 

[Erik M]

5, because thats how my SP101 was made.

 

[tomrkba]

Mostly six, five it it needs to fit into a pocket.

 

[Byrd666]

My Taurus mod 66 holds (7), mostly on my hip when hunting, helping around the barn, etc. My Smith mod 66 K frame holds (6) and is my "Linus blanket" of sorts. It's my most reliable, most accurate weapon in my arsenal. And it's pretty much within arms reach at night.

2zulu1, is the barrel on that Smith removable, a la Dan Wesson?

 

[bannockburn]

I went with 5 because more often than not, I'm usually carrying a J frame snubby.

Interesting...3 people have mentioned 7+ in this thread, but only 2 people voted for that option in the poll.

Personally, I voted 5-shot even though I rarely (if ever) carry my revolver, but my only revolver is a .357 SP101.

2zulu1, is the barrel on that Smith removable, a la Dan Wesson?

Don't know for sure, but I don't think so. Haven't tried to take the shroud off, but it's drilled and tapped to attach top and bottom rails.

 

[Jaymo]

Reason I ask, is because of that spanner nut at the muzzle. I can think of no other reason.
Unless, it's just supposed to be a tensioned barrel.

lowercase, you're right. I forgot about the Police Undercover. I think it can take the same holster as the Bulldog, being built on the Bulldog frame.

All of my revolvers hold 6, from .22LR-.44mag. I carry a S&W 66ND 2 1/2" IWB most times and a S&W 66ND 4" IWB the rest of the time.

 

[farm23]

I have only 6 but may get a lighter weight 5. I like big holes so all of mine are 44 or 45.

 

[rswartsell]

I am a 6 guy. Cold Detective Special. No need for a J frame though I will agree they are usually great guns.

 

[Dr.Rob]

All of mine are sixes.

 

[Hardtarget]

All four revolvers are 6 shooters. That number just feels right.

[montanaoffroader]

I have one 8 shot .22, all the rest are six shooters.

 

[Jack19]

S&W K-Frame snub .38

 

[plateshooter]

Lately, I have been carrying my Taurus 405 40 S&W 5 shot revolver. I really like that gun. My usual carry gun is a S&W 637 5 shot with a CT laser grip. 2 speed strips fit nicely in an old cell phone case for my reloads for the 38, the 405 uses moon clips.

 

[gp911]

When I actually carry a revolver it's my Birdshead Uberti SAA copy. Holds six, but it isn't drop safe so it's a "load 1, skip 1, load 4 proposition.

 

[soonerfan85]

I'm confused. In all the old Western TV program and movies revolvers held upward of 15 rounds each. When did Washington ban high cap revolvers?

Sorry.

 

[GP100man]

I voted 6 but the SP is soon to come off probation (reliability probation of 500 rnds with no Fail to fire) & looking forward to the liter package!!

 

[rsrocket1]

I'd rather have a revolving magazine



But that would mean stooping to the level of a Glock.

I wonder if they have an IWB holster for this for CCW.

 

[Fastlane]

I carry a S&W 12-2 in a Theis Holster. Works for me.

 

[Skribs]

RSRocket, that qualifies as 7+ in my book.

GP100man, you really have a 500 round probabtionary period for a revolver? Most people I've read have a 1 cylinder period for revolvers, and maybe 100-200 rounds for semi-auto.
