About 50% of the time, when I don't carry one of my Glocks... on the belt, right-of-center back, Desantis Leather holster (can't recall the name of it)...(revolveris sideways, with the grip pointing "up"...)
Taking a long, hard look at the Ruger SP101 today myself. 2 1/4 inch barrel and an impeccable design. It would be my first .357, and it would certainly get some hip-time along-side my glocks and my S&W 442. Yes, I suppose I should stick with only one carry peice, but it's kinda like dating: So many, so little time.
I try and carry both an Autoloader and revolver at the same time. One day I will esplain my theory on this and you can all find the flaws in my logic as I am sure there are some.
I frequently carry a 640 or a 3-inch model 60 with bobbed hammer.
Thanks for the shot! Love the "Big, Bad .357's!" Being a wheelman at heart doesn't hurt either!
Question for the more history oriented. Seems I recall a story concerning a Texas DPS Trooper (back in the '80's?) who put 3 - .357 rounds in the mid section of a big guy with a heck of a gut and the guy lived. Any truth to this?
Guess I should of checked the "library" but thought someone might know about it.
Hey, Mannlicher, I carry a Model 65 too, but mine is a Taurus. I also stuff mine with handloads. The little boot grips in the picture are great for IWB carry. Usually I carry my .357 with the factory rubber grips, which are also great for extended sessions at the range. Sometimes I use wooden target grips when I want to show off a little. They work fine for about 50 rounds of full-house .357s, but I like the rubber ones on the rare occasion that I shoot more than 50 rounds of hot stuff during a session.
I love resurrected old threads! I've had a GP100 for years, but more for a woods gun and plinker than for concealed carry. Just got an SP101, though, and I've started carrying that a good bit. It's a great concealable platform for the .357.
Both my wife and I carry Blackhawk .357's when in the "Piney Woods"...particularly after seeing one heckuva a large cougar on a part of our place...
She has become quite comfortable with the OM Blackhawk...and, as you guys know, practice is cheaper and more pleasant ( on a frequent basis ) w/.38's or w/the convertible 9-m/m cylinder in..tho' she does fire a couple of cylinders full of mags regularly...
I carried a .357 for over twenty years but for the last five years it's been a 40S&W.
I could be wrong but if my memory serves me it seems the .357 had a reputation for posting like 97% success at one shot stops in most case studies done (at least in any studies I've read) which I also believe is around the same order of the .40S&W. No?
