carry round

[boomtastic]

What do y'all think is the most well rounded revolver carry round caliber?

 

[.452browning]

.357/.38 In my opinion. For all around use from hunting to self defense to plinking.

I agree with this. You can still conceal the gun used to shoot it and the round can be deadly if needed.

^^^ what they said .357/38 is very versatile, very easy to obtain ammo, and a very deadly round. Plus you can find relatively small revolvers chambered in it

I'd say 357/38 is the only answer

What about the 410 in a Judge?

 

[BlueEagle]

.357/.38

From availability to reliability to ease of use, manageable recoil, and acceptable price point....hands down wins this one.

My choice, S&W Mod 10-5 38 Spec.

 

[INcountryboy]

I agree that .357/.38 is the best carry round for revolvers

 

[knot4reel]

I'm with the 357/38 also.

Im looking at the Chiappa Rhino in .357/.38. Small concealable and best part is..barrel is on the bottom of the pistol putting the bore inline with your wrist. This makes it eassier to shoot. So...I agree with above. A simple .357/.38 is the way to go in revolver. unless youll go for a bit bigger frame and look at a nice (C&R coming out) Webley-Scott in .45 acp/.455 webley.

Another vote for the 3-5-7.

 

[SIGguy]

.357 for sure with the very very very close runner up .44mag

 

[swamptick]

Yes, 357/38

 

[9mmfan]

.38/.357. Huge array of rounds to choose from.

 

[snorko]

There are few problems in this world which can not be solved by a 3"-4" K-frame .38/.357

I agree that .357/.38 is the best carry round for revolvers

Ditto...great round! My personal favorite is the Hornady 158 Grain JHP XTP in .357mag...very accurate from a 4" barrel! The other round I like is the Hornaday 140 grain FTX from a 2.25" barrel...definitely snappy!

 

[indykid]

What the heck, I might as well add my 2 cents... .357!

I sense a trend!

Yep. You can carry lighter, hotter rounds for SD in a snubby on your ankle or heavier lead rounds out of a 6" for blasting hogs and everything in between.

I have the Hornady 357 mag 158 gr XTP loaded in my snubbed nosed SP101. I take it on the bike trail with me. I never feel alone when I have my SP101 with me.
