Perfect carry revolver?

[Alan]

What's your top pick for a carry revolver, and what makes it your favorite? I'm interested in hearing from those who carry revolvers regularly about what performs best in everyday situations.

Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Spl. Although you hear a lot of varied experiences with this model, mine is decently tight, reliable, and accurate enough to fulfill its purpose. I paid $75.00 for it about 35 years ago at a gun show in Memphis, and it is one of the last ones I'd let go of now. And the .44 Spl is perfectly adequate for a defense round.

LCRX 357/38 special is flexible, stout recoil OK for most guys, softer 38 for recoil sensitive gals or guys, can pocket carry.

For general carry I prefer 3" l frame sized guns. Specifically, the 686 Plus or GP100s. For my height they are the right size to shoot comfortably and draw efficiently from a belt holster.

I pocket carry a Ruger SP101 with a 2.25" barrel. That's a more recent change to my options.

NAA Mini rides along with me quite nicely.

If I am going somewhere with the need for more gun then the Ruger comes along.

I really do like the LCR, never thought about the X

LCR is fine with me, some like the longer version
