Very true, but it's what's being carried by more folks than just about anything else. Probably more J frames and LCP's being carried by civilians than all the service sized guns put together.Originally Posted by Wheeler

It's been a while, but I remmeber an ASLET conference (maybe 2002??) where I was sitting around with a number of well-known firearms trainers discussing guns. While there was a bit of disagreement on the big gun, everyone at the table owned up to using a J-frame as their second gun, with most going for the Airweight.

I'd get two no lock 442's or 642's & call it a day. They really are hard to beat.
Thank you for all the replies and shared knowledge..I guess because of my age, I would be considered inexperienced with a revolver, but I have carried and shot plenty. As for my choice I can't say I've decided as I didn't recieve my tax return yet, but I am liking the 642 the more I look at it. I know I was talking about a budget..but what do you guys think about this? It made me grin..http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/w...layErrorView_N
Also, I prefer a J frame, it feels more comfortable in my hand. K frames are what I would call classy, I'd bring it on a date.
That would have been good info to include in the original post...

Gotta' ask......are revolvers going to be your primary EDC weapons or BUGs? Grew up in that particular swamp myself. The salties and gators are on the gentle side of the local populace.
Most of my knowledge base is "previously owned".
I'm a local myself..we're not all that bad. I would carry it as well as my pistol, I just enjoy shooting revolvers, and I think it would be a nice option from time to time..also, I don't think my Dad has even owned a revolver..
Reason I asked was that the experts here(Which I am not!) can give you a lot more focused advice if they know you're talking about a BUG. Living in S. FL. also makes a difference in concealed carry options.

Stick with 38/357, best of everything! Stay away from Ruger CRAP! The older S&W and Colt revolvers are Top Notch. Don't get lured into snubbies, they suck for ANYTHING you're going to do with them. You can conceal 4"bbl six shot as easy as snub. Cylinder's the determining factor for revolver concealment. I've owned and shot revolvers for 40+yrs, I'm not steering you wrong here!
