Perfect carry revolver?

[Alan]

What's your go-to carry revolver and what makes it your top choice? I'm eager to hear from those of you who carry revolvers on a daily basis about your experiences and what you find most effective in practical situations.

A 1960's S&W Model 49 Airweight & Ruger LCR w/ Crimson Trace laser grip. First in line is the Ruger due to the laser grip; Model 49, when I feel nostalgic. I've always been a S&W snob.

I always carry, and for quick trips, it is a revolver. The S&W 340PD. It is light, about 11 ounces, and handles .357 mag. Since I'm mostly retired, I am often out for just a fast errand run and don't anticipate needing more capacity. This replaces both my Model 64 S&W, 3", and my 644 Airweight, which were the revolvers I'd most likely be carrying before I got the 340PD.

For more complex situations, shopping in big stores, going to movies, outdoor activities, road trips, I carry a pistol.

I carry a Kimber K6s 3" daily IWB, and my usual load is .38 special+p hollow points. For quick trips to the store, I throw my S&W Model 360 in my jacket or pants pocket. Although both can be loaded with .357 loads, I don't. I value my hearing too much if I needed to use them in a self-defense situation, especially indoors.
