Standing there with an empty gun and no way to reload it, while wishing I had and needing a loaded gun had a profound impact on my attitude. That WAS a burden.

Story?


Short undramatic version: several years ago, 2 small kids about 100 yards down the driveway yelling Dad, Dad grabs 1911 runs down, threatening animals, gun is empty before all animals are kaput, son makes his way to the house and brings back Mossburg 590, all animals now kaput

Dad no longer needs to grab a gun because it's on him all day, plus 2-3 reloads. That's been a time saver several times.
My grab and go shotguns and rifles have ammo cards on board. I'm very rural, AZ mountains.

I have friends that carry J-frames with 5 rounds/no spare ammo. That's their business, but not for me.

The old Safariland 371 series pouches work well for carrying one of their loaders.  Unfortunately it looks like Safariland may have discontinued them as they don't show up on their website.

 I'm curious, what kind of threatening animals?

 For the last 15+ years I have lived in a fairly rural area too, here in north Texas (next to a 30,000 acre ranch on which there are no inhabitants of the hominin variety). Countless multiple contacts with deer, coyotes, bobcats, badgers, javelinas, hogs, feral and stray dogs and two varieties of rattlesnakes. All of them except maybe the javelina (pretty dim-witted) and maybe the rattle snakes haul ass at the sound of a gunshot.

 Anyhow, carry as many reloads as you want!

Nothing against revolvers, but I find them a bit too heavy and bulky to carry around all day.

I actually find my 8 shot 357 to be more comfortable to carry than anything else I’ve owned.  It took a lot of trial and error before I got the right gear to make it possible though.

One of the guys I used to work with carried a 4" Model 29 (with .44 specials) about half the time, a 1911 the rest (we were both in our thirties at the time).  He used a pancake style holster (ex. Simply Rugged Sourdough) either OWB or IWB by attaching belt loops.  

Funny side story, he shot IDPA with it a fair bit; he and another friend (also in his thirties at the time) both shot one match using full power .44 mag.  Obviously neither won, but they weren't as far off the guys with .38/.357s times as you might think (I shot a 2.5" 686 with .357s for that match since I didn't own a .44), plus bonus points for style.  In that particular match, one stage had you starting with your hands on the counter/bar and you had to grab your gun off the shelf under the counter and put two rounds in a target on the other side.  Pasters weren't enough to cover the holes we put in the target at that distance.

My carry gun is a S&W 640.  Been carrying it since 1995 when I bought it, and probably won't change going forward.  

Very easy to carry in either a belt holster which disappears with even a T-shirt over it, or in a front pocket holster when wearing dress pants.

Points and shoots well, plenty good for self-defense ranges, which are going to be up close and personal.  

I put the CT laser grips on it, so it's very quick and easy to obtain a sight picture, and the laser is most likely going to make crooks think about if this is a good course of action.

A 5 shoot push in speedloader fits in the back pocket, for reload if needed.

For all but nighttime travel through really rough areas, I don't feel underguned with 10 rounds of .357 Mag.

I always carry a J frame in my pocket. Either my rare 2.5" 642 or my 340 both equipped with D&L sights. When I leave the Iowa farm or my Sarasota home it's either a G19 (or 19X) or G48 wearing an RMR in an appendix holster with at least one spare reload for both guns.

If I lived in a place that limited magazine capacity, it would be a 3" 38/357 Colt revolver.

I'm usually home 30 days out of the year.  During that time my EDC is a Smith 442 in pocket with a speed strip for reload.  OCONUS usually a Glock OWB with a spare mag.  If I need more there's usually a minigun in the shop.

According to the recent threads in GD regarding revolvers you're already dead, you just don't know it.    It is interesting how many people with your background often carry a small revolver or automatic instead of one of the newer, higher capacity guns like the 365/Hellcat/Shield Plus/whatever.  I remember watching a couple of videos with some former SF types and a lot of them were carrying stock Glock 43s with the factory mag and one reload, I think one had a Kahr and another a 442.

Oh, that M24 is nice.   I've only shot one, a 4" that belonged to a friend.  I really like shooting .44 spl same as I enjoy cowboy loads in my .45 Blackhawk.


Has your wife tried the original Uncle Mike's boot grip that came on the early 642s?  I've tried a couple of different grips on mine but always go back to them.  It's utter heresy to even say it so I'll try to whisper, but a while back I saw where someone had fitted a set of Taurus 85 grips to a Smith J frame and claimed that they were more comfortable due to the Taurus' rubber along the back strap.  Apparently the fellow had arthritis and was looking for something with more cushioning.  I've thought about trying it just to see how it felt since you can pick up the grips for cheap, but I'd have to wrap it in athletic tape to help hide my shame.

Thanks bro on the M24... I cannot believe I found one that was basically a safe queen previously for what they are going for now.

As to UM's rubber boots... no we haven't tried them. The M642 came with a pair of Smith boots that were too bulky for her hands. The vintage M36's with the Tyler T believe it or not is perfect for either of us. Her with her girly hands and me with my meaty man hands... The combo is very comfortable even when shooting Buffalo Bore's 150 grain hard cast wad cutters that are guaranteed to about 950fps out of a 2" Smith barrel. Of course you don't want to shoot 50 of them per range/training day... But for carry and in the need to pull and pop they offer a nice grip purchase albeit from a purse or a Desantis pocket holster.

The Smith M642 Airweights are so underrated... Now I did have to lightly polish/stone all internal engagement surfaces and install a 1lb reduced poundage Wolff hammer strut/spring and a Wolff reduced power trigger return spring... Also heavily polished the rebound slide to a shiny hue (3 sides) before the wifely could reliably pull the DAO trigger 100%... (we seemed to have bought the Massachusetts Trigger'd version) but my 45 minute trigger job took the trigger down from 8+lbs to a flat 5lbs which is more than manageable... Its so easy to put 5 quick pops within 3 inches at 10 yards as fast as I can pull the trigger and points so nicely to boot. I've taught the wifey to aim at the pelvis and calmly empty the cylinder as fast as possible (about 4 seconds for her at 7 yards) exclusively. For her it's the perfect carry piece and not too far off from perfect for me either. Pic of her carry rig below... The vintage Magna's and Tyler-T is oh so comfortable for both her and me too!

I’m 34…



9mm converted 642-1, with CT grips and LaserMax weapon light. Redone in NP3 Plus. And I carried that since my late 20s.

For me, it’s comfortable and will do what I need it to do. But for worse case (Federal L/E, so talking something like those past two active shooters), I have a suppressed 11.5” AR in my truck.

I’m issued a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS, but only carry it when required. We are being allowed weapon lights, so once that is done, I’ll probably carry that periodically.

In researching a conversion a while back, this is the only source I found on using an aluminum alloy frame for 9mm .  The poster seems knowledgeable but I still opted to get a scandium frame for mine.  Some sites even allude to the scandium frame having limitations on handling the hotter 9mm loads.

It isn’t my normal carry gun set up but big revolvers, meaning for me L frame and N frame .357s carry very comfortably in those Safariland Custom Fit paddle holster.  A model 28 is a big revolver and that holster carries it nicely.

I normally carry a 43x, a Kahr Mk40 or a CZPo7 but any one of my 4” .357s could be carried on a day around town when I also want to shoot them.

I knew I recognized the username from somewhere.  

Good additional info.  Thanks for posting.  Maybe I’ll do one on the airweight frame after all.  The price point is definitely more appealing.

The 147gr HST is my goto for 9mm carry.  Glad to know it works for this setup as well.

I’m 42….been in law enforcement for 21 years. I was in the last class to shoot revolvers in the academy (we transitioned to Glocks before graduation). While I have to carry a Glock 9mm of some sort now as a primary duty gun, I’ve had a J-Frame (currently a 340PD)  in my left cargo pocket for the last 19 years. At times that J-Frame has doubled as an off-duty gun. Over the last few years though, my off-duty gun has been a K-Frame 2.5” 66.

Hoping to get a 351PD or a 43C soon to replace/augment the 442.

I am really enjoying my 351PD. Great carry gun that weighs about 13oz loaded. I’m ok carrying 7 of the Speer Gold Dots.  
Jeff from Gunblast had a video running 22LR through his with no problems so you always have that for some cheap practice.

On occasion I still carry a snub nose revolver, the Colt Magnum Carry, loaded with 125 grain Remington Golden Sabre 357 magnum ammunition.
