LL's revolver quest, got a WC GP100

[fatdog]

Is the 627 PC too big for carry?

Yes except for the case of OWB in the woods.

I like the suggestion many have made of the GP100 as a first revolver if you are buying a NIB gun.

Are seven and eight shot revolvers generally considered too big for carry, or just eight shot ones?

I carried a 4" redhawk in a kramer horsehide scabbard for a year. Its pretty big

Check out Smith's 66-8 2.75".

Not bad for a snubby shooting .357s

Speedloader options are broadest with Smiths. If you go with Smith, JetLoaders, or other spring assisted loaders, are the way to go. Others revolver brands are more limited in selection but speed loaders > strips > loose rounds is still relatively true.

GP uses L frame Jet Loaders.

WC GP, JMCK, and go shoot.

This man has it. If the GP MC is the G17 of revolvers, the WC GP is the G19.

Maybe this?

Makes me want to go down a path Caleb trod seven years ago.

Totally OT, but, have you read any of Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter novels?

Im glad I went k frame after me and Steph got our speedloaders mixed up.

The bulk was noticable enough in my pocket that I pulled it out to look at it.

No, was it about Marines chasing tail in Waikiki? I might like it.

Actually, the best-selling series originally started as a discussion on another gun forum about how all the people in horror movies made terrible choices and, gee, wouldn't it be cool if someone wrote a story where people shot back at vampires and werewolves and stuff with high-powered small arms?

I think that they’re great fun, myself, but I posted because one of the little old lady characters in the novels does work with a Redhawk.
