2 revolver plan?

Now that’s a two gun plan.

I am a Ruger guy so......
The LCR is a nice light carry gun but can be a but of a handful and not very plesant firing full power 357 loads. The SA only5 shot SP101 with good grips is built like a tank and is a bit heavy for CCW but the weight tames down the recoil.
Unless you practice with a snub nose revolver regularly you probably won't hit squat past 20 feet. Especially undes stress. Buy what ever gun and ammo you intend to carry and practice when you can. If you don't like 357s in an air weight gun consider 38 specials or a heavier snub revolver. For a second gun consider a GP100 or a Security Six with a 4" barrel.

I always figured a snubby 357 is either gonna hit or the sound is going to make someone think twice.

Also snubby 357s are fun when you load a couple 38s first then a magnum then hand it to your cocky 12 year old lol.


I'm using a LCR 357 and loves it and would like to get a full size one some day.

My friend said if i miss the muzzle flash will flash will blind them.

Years ago, I had a friend who liked a big muzzle blast and flash. He'd go to public ranges and clear the firing line, shooting a 4" King Cobra.
I built him stout .357 loads with a 125rg bullet and Win 296/H110.
Out of a 4" barrel, the muzzle blast was brutal.

I would imagine so. With a slow burning powder and light bullet, I bet it has a bark.

Nah, gotta be fast burning.
45-70, if you use slow powder you can dump unburnt powder out of a spent case.
Hornady Leverelution ammo is perfect with 325 grain partition tipped.

52 grains of IMR 3031 behind a 405 grain hard cast out of a 14" 45-70 contender. When the 500 smith boys start bragging i put a couple completely through their telephone pole backstop and 15" diameter trees. Recoil is brutal. Makes 44mag look like a pop gun.

Link to a guy shooting it with the mid power loads. He thought he could one hand it

I haven’t reloaded for mine yet. Hornady’s at 325 grain out of a 8-1/2” barrel is very user friendly and accurate.

I have a S&W Model 36 snub and a 4” 686. Very happy with the combo. I’ve owned a 6” 686 in the past and have come to prefer the 4” barrel, the improvement in balance is remarkable.

 

[XP_Slinger]

I raffed at how far it rolled away lol. Best answer for adding more transfer ports

If I could only have one revolver, it would be my Taurus 856 .38 Special. Small enough to carry like a J frame, but has six shots and enough extra weight to be pleasant to shoot. I can shoot it as good as my S&W 10-5 and Ruger Service Six in fact. Last night I poured a bunch of Lee 358-150-SWC slugs for it, I might just pick up a second 856 if I find a good deal. I have an S&W 637 also which I like very much. I do wish it had a couple ounces more weight as it has a fair amount of muzzle jump when fired.

Josie had at least six, two on his belt, two shoulder holsters & two on his saddle.
And I think he had bag of loaded cylinders.

I love my ss colt Anaconda 6” .44 mag. I wouldn’t want to carry it all the time though. My brother bought his wife a .22 mag for cc, I think that was an 8 shot ruger.

They made a nine shot as far as I know. That’s what mine is, Ruger single 9

LCR 357 for my back up to my 9mm semi auto

While, I don't have much love for carrying revolvers I do own quite a few.

Plus this one I made Ill let you figure it out.

My favourite 4 inch 6 shot Revolver is the model 19 or model 66.
But that is a very nice smolt 357
