SP101, 2.5” - my main carry.
Mine?
New in Box Pre 1980 Colt Python ,38/.357 Magnum 4 inch bbl., left side bianci fast break Bianic belt holster with 3 speed loader pouched.
My Smith and Wesson 586 works fine for me.
Weapons are specific to the mission. There is really not an all-around weapon but if limited to a revolver, I’d go with one chambered in .357 Magnum.......4” barrel.....

Bruce Cockburn Live ...If I Had A Rocket Launcher
My only firearm, is a Taurus 850CIA that I bought new over 10 years ago. It is pre-+P chambered in .38 Special. That means ‘standard load only’. No hollowpoints, to include ‘Buffalo Bore’, or ‘Treasury loads’. It works well with ‘wadcutters’ and ‘semiwadcutters’.
Since being deemed ‘hoiusebound/disabled’ by my ‘team doctor’ years ago, I cannot ‘bug out’ so I have this to ‘hunker down with’.
1-7/8” S&W Model 60 in 357 has been my quick carry going back to the late 70’s. The action is smooth as glass.
If your could have only one wheel gun no question it should .357
Or in a dystopian reality maybe a 9mm just because of ammo availability
If big bear are present as you have to go to the outhouse I’d have the .357
Don’t laugh a Bush pilot friend of mine from near Palmer Alaska had an outhouse and kept big guns around just for that....always within reach
Taurus? YGBSM!
If I could only own one revolver, my choice would be my S&W J-frame 22 LR with target sights and 4” barrel. Owned it 40 years and it is the only gun my kids argue over who will inherit it!
I have 2 Taurus Trackers (one in 44mag and one 357mag) awesome guns ..... very practical in every way.
I agree with this guys views on the Taurus Tracker.
...yet somehow .... I haven’t been able to fall in love with them like I have with a Ruger or a S&W.
A revolver for SHTF is simply handing over your life and gun to another.
S&W stainless in 460 mag 8” barrel with a second 4” screw on for concealed carry why? You can shoot pussycat 45LC cowboy action loads at 700fps for small edible critters and have meat left, shoot full bore 454 casull hard cast lead for the biggest class 3 game at 100m or less that includes the big five in Africa and ANY THING that walks in North America. Going up to the 460 you now have rifle ballistics in a hand cannon with real world 200m range on up to moose sized game. The 454 is already over kill for 2 legged predators the 45LC +p+ is 44 mag level ballistics.
