I’ve fallen in love with my wheel gun too!

I’ve seriously thought about a .38 special snub nose or something long those lines for carry.

I’m not to concerned if its only a 5 or 6 shot, because I don’t forsee WW3 on the street corner. Plus, you can’t argue with reliablility.

After years of semis and rifles, I only had one revolver - a pristine S&W Victory Model 38 with original holster. I always like the feel and action so I began looking at them in earnest a year ago.

Since then, I've purchased a Model 22 (1917 45ACP revolver -remake), a 1917 US Army 45ACP (real), and a Model 10 38 Special +P...I really love the Model 10. I have a good old style holster where the flap folds back around and through the belt and snaps around the front body of the holster (doesn't require removing your belt). The Model 10 comes with a factory installed Hogue Rubber Grip - nice. This is the one I carry in my glove box with about 4-5 quickloaders nearby...

I carry an S&W model 36, which is a 5 shot with a 1 3/4” inch barrel. If I use a holster, it’s an inside the waistband, but the gun fits nicely in a pocket where I can put my hand on it without drawing any attention. The FBI says most gunfights involve fewer than 3 shots at less than 7 meters.
