Anyone carry a .357?

[aclark22296]

is there any of yall that carry a .357? just in a side holster. im a revolver guy and am looking into to getting a S&W model 19. i just havent seen anything on anybody carrying one.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Yeah, I do. "Wiley Clapp" Ruger GP100. On duty I carry it in a Galco Speed Paddle holster. Off duty I carry it in a Galco Summer Comfort.

I sometimes carry a S&W 66 with a 3 inch barrel in a Kramer paddle holster.

 

[aclark22296]

thanks i was actually trying to decide between a ruger and the s&w. leaning towards a longer barrel, maybe a six inch.

I carry a 4" Ruger GP-100 as my EDC. I prefer the DAO, half-lug, fixed-sight version (It's lighter and more snag-free). I carry it using a Simply Rugged belt and IWB holster combo. I also carry an 8-round speed strip in a Simply Rugged ammo pouch for my reload.

I carry a S&W model 19-3 when I OC, which is most of the time.
I also carry a pouch that holds 2 speed strips. I don't like how the speed loaders stick out so much.

Most folks go with 2.5-4" barrels on a carry gun. 6" is usually reserved for hunting, "car carry", or a range gun due to how cumbersome it is. I just don't find a 6" to be balanced like I want it to be for a self defense pistol, its not as fast to manuever IMHO.

I have a model 13 with a 3" barrel. I have been thinking of carrying that, but with the heavy barrel it has, it is kinda weighty.

A polymer pistol actually carries concealed better but I don't have a holster yet for the 13 to give it an honest comparison.

I am really more of a revolver guy but am more likely to carry a semi auto because it conceals better. I do carry a S&W 66 or 65 each with a 4" barrel and they do conceal pretty well. I use an IWB CABO holster which went out of business. Most of my holsters are IWB tuckable for my semi autos and one for my J-frame 38spl. The tuckable works best in warm weather wearing just a t-shirt riding a motorcycle. Jim.

Haven't regularly carried a .357 (4" model 19) since the early 90s.

S&W 640 with night sights.

I carry a S&W model 66 regularly. And it is my carry gun of choice on my motorcycle.

What has two thumbs and carries a Ruger SP101???

THIS GUY, and I love it! I changed out the stock grips with a Hogue Mono grip and it gives me goose bumps when I hold it.

Yeah, I do. "Wiley Clapp" Ruger GP100. On duty I carry it in a Galco Speed Paddle holster. Off duty I carry it in a Galco Summer Comfort.

i also carry my Wiley Clapp(oc some and cc some) and my .357 sig Glock 33 cc most of the time.
have been trying the new Beretta 92 compact(9mm 13+1) in place of the WC but have been switching back and forth between those 2, but always have the G33 no matter what.

but yes, i carry an .357.

on a side note, if you can, try the Glock 33. 9+1 rds of .357 sig in your pocket. they are the same size as a G26 and can use .357 mags or .40 mags. i put 22 rounds in the 33 with those new 22 round mags from Glock and shoot the .357 stuff at steel and it is fun as **ll.
i love mine and it shoots wonderfully.

I carry a Rossi 971 2.5 barrel

I sometimes carry my 4" GP100 in the Winter under my coat when going over to the farm to do some work. I'm not into Open Carry and there's not much a way to conceal that bad boy.

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

For CC or IWB carry I got a Taurus 605 that I carry. Also will carry it as a BUG sometimes, either in right front pocket or Galco ankle rig.

I'll sometimes carry a .357 Ruger LCR as a BUG. It's very light so recoil is an issue but at five shots it's thin enough to conceal well in almost any weather.
