    You have to be safe out there! Santa is no exception! So, what revolver would he carry? I would think he wouldn’t be into semiautomatics, so definitely a revolver. With a big sleigh, it wouldn’t have to be concealable, either. But it has to look good with his red suit. My vote is for a Smith & Wesson Triple Lock revolver in .44 Special with factory engraving and mother of pearl stocks.

    If I was Santa I would probably carry a 4 inch 686. Easy enough to tuck in my sash, and shiny, to keep in the spirit of jingle bells.

    We all know that Santa doesn't carry, but Yukon Cornelius does.

    BFR has been said to mean something other than Big Frame Revolver. Maybe to Santa it means Be Fast Reindeer?:)

    .500 S&W…. Because polar bears actively hunt people and Santa has a lot of meat on his bones.

    Santa is said to be a bishop, and bishops don’t traditionally pack heat, but there were plenty of American padres in WWII who did, many of whom became bishops later themselves and would have been able to advise their polar colleague, so my vote goes to a S&W 1917. No issues with concealment with all those robes. I’m pretty sure he’s also got a Krieghoff drilling in the sleigh in case the reindeer get lame and he has to shoot a caribou for subsistence.

    Since Nicholas is an adventurer who travels to the four corners of the earth, I’d also like to think he set the wheels in motion for Indiana Jones’ choice in revolvers and also used a cut-down 4” S&W 1917 in .455 Webley.

    Toklat. For sure. Santa doesn't have time to shoot twice.

    No offense, but Santa doesn't carry a revolver. He carries a Desert Eagle .50AE, because he's a serious badass.
