There's nothing civil about this war.
S&W Model 10 with 2"-4" pencil barrel on the belt and a .38 J-frame or .32 I-frame/H&R snub (revolver) or Baby Browning .25 variant (auto) in the pocket. Possibly a .25 Beretta Bobcat instead of the Browning.
If I have to fill the categories:
Service auto larger than 9mm - 1911 with decent sights or a S&W model 439 with the guarded rear sight and trigger job
Revolver larger than .38 Special up to .44-40 - If wanting big, S&W model 28 or 58. Charter Arms Bulldog if going small
Revolver of .45 caliber or larger. - Ruger Vaquero, old model
I haven’t been able to get away from revolvers for several years. My current carry revolver is my new to me S&W M19-4 2.5”. I also carry a M642 in my jacket, depending on the weather. All revolvers get carried with Remington Golden Saber .38 +P rounds.
Honestly, I’d love to sell my semiautomatics. The hassle of advertising them and shipping, along with laziness, keeps them in my safe.

I miraculously survived the weekend with just a 442 and five FMJs. Does that count?
Old school for me would mean a revolver of some sort. Too many good 10 rd. auto loaders out there to mess with that.
I have some revolvers that I could carry, because I like revolvers, but not for carry.

I feel the same way. I have some pistols (no revolvers) that take up space in my safe. I'm not selling any of those because of the draconian state laws and shipping costs. In this state everything goes through an FFL which is $50. I just use $100 dollars as a base cost to buy or sell a firearm. I'm not paying rent on any of those so they sit in my safe. If a relative wants something in there I'll just gift it to them.
