I carry a 9mm Ruger revolver daily since it’s small and I use their moon clips which hold 5 additional rounds, it’s easy enough to replace. If I can’t get the job done with 10 rounds I guess it’s my time.

Ruger LCR in .38+P is a very good CCW platform. Yeah, it’s five rounds, but a speed strip (that holds six rounds) is a very handy companion.

S&W Model 60 here. 5 rounds of 357. I use an oversized rubber grip, which is a little annoying for concealing but makes shooting 357 OK. The barrel is much slimmer than on most semi-automatics. It doesn't have as many sharp angles as most semi-autos, too. The trigger is far better than any striker-fired auto I've used.

Compared to a Glock 27, the J-frame has fewer rounds, is harder to reload, and a shorter sight distance between front and rear sights. OTOH, it is an outstanding "Get off me!" gun, easier to conceal and I don't see many scenarios where I would need more than 5 rounds. I'm not a cop and I'm EX-military and I'm often in bed by 9PM. Surprisingly few thugs descend on a hardware store at 10 AM...

When Pastor Bob Celeste gave this sermon to wives of Militia members, my wife and daughters were there.

I am convinced

Girls, young, old and in-between; I am convinced

That as FaceBook, Chobani yogurt, obama and the US Congress bring more an more muslim refugees to the USA, I have a message for all females in the US, white, black, yellow, and red.

Girls, ignore the obamites, the democrat, the gop, the ruling political class, the media, and the police.

Always carry a revolver. Revolvers leave no casing with your finger prints lying around. A H&R .32 magnum is nice as is a .38 or a .22WMR.

Ladies and teen girls, understand and remember this:

Rapist do not have day planners, rapist do not tell family and friends they are going out to find a girl to rape.

Rapist do not rape in crowds or where they think anyone will come along and see the rape or hear your screams.

Girls, Shoot and walk away.

Leave the rapist for the fowls of the air and the beast of the field.

Go home, have a good cry, a glass of wine and thank GOD you ignored the forces of the democrat and the political ruling class, and thank God Almighty that He allowed you to destroy one more rapist. Oh ya, don’t forget to clean that revolver and replace the spent rounds.

Folks, In the last fifty years there has not been one woman, in the USA, raped who was armed at the time of the attempted rape, NOT ONE.

My personal self-defense gun of choice. Taurus Ultra-Lite .38 Special Model 85. It's small enough to strap on my mountain bike when I ride mountain trails. I'm a small female so this one fits me.

I always take pictures of new guns for insurance purposes in case of theft and I record the serial number. I have had this one for about two years. I have owned several semi-auto's and never really liked them. I prefer a revolver for carry and a 12GA shotgun for home defense.

Ruger LCR .38 +p...

Small, light, easily concealed, and 5 shots.
Also great backup to my Glock 19 (9mm, 15 shot).

For my wife and daughters, I bought them revolvers for the same reasons as well as these: Simple and reliable.

Ruger SP101 in .357. Medium frame so the .357 doesn’t bite too hard, but compact enough for easy carry.

“Most revolver wheel a 5 round vs a semi-auto holds 6+1 at a minimum.”

That would not be an issue if you purchased an 8-round revolver, like the S&W 8-round 357 Mag. Reloading can be an issue, but my take when using a revolver is to protect yourself while trying to extricate from the situation, and always leaving 2 rounds to make a final effort if needed. Do NOT empty the gun in the first engagement, if not needed. Thus, an 8-round wheel gun works just fine or better than a 6+1 semi-auto.
