Switched to a revolver for ccw...

[D.B. Cooper]

My favorite carry revolver for a couple years now is my .44 Bulldog. The S&W and Colt revolvers stay at home.

With wad cutters!? Guess you watched the same LuckyGunner video I did.

Don't need more than 5. Found like new cased S&W 337 for same price as new G43 or 365. I bought the revolver because it had unique fetures (lightened frame and titanium cylinder). More expensive to make than half plastic clunker pistols. "Dumped" both G26 and PPS and got kool revolver with ammo supply.

The size of 5 is more of a pocket gun, which is the main draw for truly lightweight. To have something with 6, I think you would need a 32 H&R in a frame made especially for that application, size and alloy. It seems that 38 Special is really controlling the size of and number of rounds in a small gun. It would be silly to go to 327 Federal Magnum and then never shoot the cartridge that overpowers the gun.

No I’ve not seen that. Going to check it out though. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah they basically make the case that, with low velocity projectiles (which have difficulty opening the hollow points) you're about as well off shooting coke cans.

Thanks for the link. Here's some even bigger "coke cans"...250 grain .44 Wadcutters

...and some 157 grain (yes, 157) .38 special solid base wadcutters.

I've actually have been carrying wadcutters in my 44's for years. My new favorite is this:

One of these days i just flat out need to get a 720. Hopefully the time will be right soon.

Keep looking. They show up occasionally. I found this one from a local individual on a NC gun forum. He lived near me so I got to check it out before buying.
