Taurus .38 for my concealed.
Why do you want to know? Do you intend to mug me?
When I carry a revolver it’s a Ruger Sp-101 in .357.
A bit heavy, but utterly reliable.

Logic would dictate for concealed carry.
Small, five shot, light, has a punch (357), enclosed hammer...
I have several S&W J-Frames, and occasionally carry them, but never felt comfy with just 5 rounds. I have an S&W 627 snubby .357 with 8 rounds capacity and moon clips. It’s a tad thicker, but about the same weight and footprint as my 1911. I often carry it in colder months.
But my main carry is a Glock G26.
One advantage of snubby revolvers is that you can safely carry them in your pocket. Nobody thinks twice about a guy walking along with his hands in his pockets, particularly when it’s cold. And the fastest draw is when you already have it in your hand.
When out hiking or at various functions, my wife open carries a Colt Python. She can’t handle automatics, and is darn accurate with the .357.
One more point on the “extra” weight of the Ruger. It helps absorb some of the recoil. I load it with .38 +P cartridges. Anything more is just wasted powder.

During the summer when I’m wearing cargo shorts, it fits in the front pocket nicely. S&W 640. When it’s cooler and I can wear a jacket I carry a Browning Hi-Power. We’re open carry with a licence here in TX so mostly I carry a Hi-Power in a thumb break half holster on the hip.
Only in the winter time when I’m in an old fashioned mood.
Full size nickle plated Taurus Falcon service revolver in a leather shoulder holster. .38 Special hollow points.
(My EDC is a Taurus PT111G2, followed by a CZ-82 and a Keltec P-11.)
I occasionally carry a S&W m&p340. Why? Because it weighs like 13 oz. and is so easy to conceal and carry. Sometimes I carry S&W 327 Nightguard because it’s also lightweight and easy to conceal but it gives me 8 shots instead of the 5 shots that the 340 gives me and it’s easier to shoot accurately. The 340 saved my ass once.
My usual carry gun is a Kimber Ultra Carry Stainless but at times I’ve carried a 1970 era Chief’s Special Airweight and even a S&W 657 3-inch 41 magnum. The 41 is carried with moderate power handloads pushing a 215 gr. Keith-style lead bullet at 900 fps out of that 3-inch barrel.
I love revolvers for quick first shot accuracy and natural pointing. But I love autos too.
A S&W Model 60, although not as much as I used to. I now prefer an LCP for summer carry.
In winter, a 686+ is sometimes on my hip. Hard to conceal it, though, when it is 100+ degrees out.
Dan Wesson .357Mag with the snubbie barrel. Simply Rugged leather IWB holster and belt. I prefer this concealed carry over my Browning Hi-Power that I carried for a few years.
I much more prefer the safety features of revolvers.
S&W.38 hammerless snubbie....very good for concealing.
Not concealable, Not inconspicuous but highly gratifying...Perfect for antifa encounters.
S&W Model 60 in 38. 1-7/8” barrel. Small, light, dependable, and most importantly, I’m very proficient with it as I’ve practiced with it over 40 some years.
I have other carries, but this 60 is still my favorite and only wheel gun I carry.
Pming you something good. :)
A Colt Police Positive (4th issue).38 special.
I’m tall and can carry this in an inside the belt holster.
Probably the most balanced .38, Colt ever produced.
It’s light(to me anyway,) fast, and being all steel can use +P loads.
If you ever shoot one you’ll see what I mean.
