Why do you EDC a revolver or a semi-auto?
Not looking for the eternal โ€œrevolvers are reliable, autos have more capacityโ€ circlejerk. We all know that song, itโ€™s been played to death.

Iโ€™m asking on a personal level: why YOU carry what you carry.
Whatโ€™s the one thing that made you choose it for EDC?
Could be practical (capacity, caliber, weight, concealment) or personal (nostalgia, aesthetics, โ€œfeels cool in my handโ€). No wrong answers here.

For example: I pocket carry a Chiappa Rhino 20DS. My main reason? Caliber choice. Thatโ€™s it.

I just want to hear what makes someone pick a Glock over a Colt Detective Special, or a wheelgun over a polymer wonder, etc.

So, /k/, whyโ€™d you pick what you carry?

I'm really good and comfortable with my Glock, so that's what I carry. Simple as. I'm not going to say or think that revolvers are antiquated trash and that anyone who carries them is wrong, and I won't take to heart the words of anyone who has made carrying a snubby .38 a core component of their personality. It just is what it is, and nothing more.

I carry a 32 J frame with this grip because it's extremely comfortable. Less than a lb loaded, 6 shots of hardcast 32. Easy to draw and will fire no matter how badly you grip it. Use a nylon stretch belt with the hook grip and it feels like nothing is there. I love it. I use a holster from time to time but not often.

I also keep a 9mm around (px4c) but I rarely carry it on person.

I own a few revolvers for fun, I love how the old S&Ws look and feel, but I have never carried them. This is almost entirely down to capacity, I just don't want to rely on only 5 or 6 rounds for protection, and 6 round .357s are bulky.

My regular carry gun is an ordinary G19 with some aftermarket sights. When I pocket carry, it's a bodyguard 2.0 or a springfield hellcat depending on the pants or jacket. Both of which are smaller than my smallest revolver and hold over 10 rounds. My smallest revolver, a 432, is larger than the hellcat in all dimensions and at 6 rounds of .32 magnum out of a sub 2" barrel is probably about as potent as the .380 bodyguard... It just wouldn't make sense to carry a gun that is larger, less powerful, and holds fewer rounds.

Why carry just one?
Sure, automatics have more ammo and more of them can run a dot sight, etc.
But nobody ever expects you to pull a micro revolver from your pocket off-hand and put a contact shot into their liver.
And it's still there if you need it because your main gun jammed or whatever. They weigh basically nothing. Why not? Makes more sense than EDC'ing extra magazines, I think.

.22 is for having fun practicing shooting since it's affordable, it being rimfire makes it fuck up firing a lot so don't depend on it past rodent elimination. The Browning Buckmark autoloader is neat, Heritage Rough Riders are fun single-action revolvers but are gigantic, and the Ruger X4 or whatever the model is works nicely, but it sucks to clean which is a constant mandate for this caliber instead of a nice "I felt like it" or "It's been a month, time to oil it again". .380 is surprisingly potent and it's a centerfire, so it's far more reliable. 9mm's won't weigh much more, and making holsters for the .22's would be a nightmare since they're very large for no tradeoff if you're carrying them. Yes it'll still hurt or kill someone, but with the high chance of ammunition mishaps and it being quite anemic you may as well take it seriously if you have the misfortune to require a gun past having fun hitting paper targets. That's also why we have these rights to begin with. I apologize for my informative schizoranting, I have a migraine and my meds for it have me high as balls and happy to talk about a subject I enioy. Ultimately, carry what you personally care for and like to shoot. Better to have something with you than in a safe when needed, after all. God my head hurts.

And I agree with >>64192203 and >>64192206, even a .380 is better. If you really want a small handgun, try maybe something like the keltech P32. I got one for my (ex) gf, and shot it a few time myself, it's good for what it is and what it cost. I would even consider carry it if I had to.

22lr can work, but rimfire is relatively unreliable and since you have minimal power, your accuracy has to be unimpeachable under pressure. You will basically never do worse with a 380 or 38 special than you would with a 22lr.
That said if you have to rely on 22lr use a revolver so that if you do get a bad round you can just keep pulling the trigger for the next one.
Even Paul Harrell opted for a .22 towards the end, but that was when he was so weakened by cancer that carrying and controlling his usual was too much to ask in case he needed to bug out.

I used to carry a P32 as a backup instead of a magazine for my 1911 back in the day. Pretty sure the P32 was ~10oz which was lighter than a 1911 magazine. Always gun autism justified it by saying I could arm someone if I needed to.

New York reloads need to come back. Way less tactical Timmy than the competition 2011s people are carrying these days.

Realistically a LCR in 22lr would cover all your needs. I'd never carry 22lr in an auto since id want the ability to just pull the trigger again if there was a dead strike. Premium 22lr only has like a .5% failure rate but that's still 1/200 shots. Premium defensive 22lr is even less.

People meme about it failing because most people buy 22lr to shoot the cheapest ammo possible.

Overall I say go for it but only in a snub nose revolver and id opt for some good ammo.

I have carried a J-frame in the pocket before. It was so light and comfy at times I'd even forget I had the gun on me. And I hated carrying my Glock 19 IWB because I had to use thick belts and holsters and it would still print and be uncomfortable

But now I found a very comfy AIWB holster and carry method for my Glock 19, and I also dress like a man now with loose clothing, so I can conceal well in summer and in winter. Only females wear tight clothing so they have to carry in purses

If I wanted to carry while using tight athletic clothes while going out for a run I'd just use picrel minus the tacticool color. I have one in light blue

The top one should have a virgin on it, not a chad. All the competitive shooters and dudes with actual combat experience I know carry a pretty stock and basic compact handgun. As I got better at competition shooting and gained more experience with my duty pistol in my work, I went from carrying my 92g with an X300 and RMR to a iron sighted Glock 19. The draw to first shot on a target 7 to 15 yards is identical. And the follow up shots can't be slower than 0.05 if that.

For duty though, yeah read dot and heavy/powerful WML all the way

I pocket carry almost exclusively now because I'm too fit to conceal my gun on my waist very well. People kept seeing it and pocket carry is just more convenient. Revolvers are fatter than single stack .380s so it doesn't conceal as well in the pocket. You also have a more difficult reload, and have to figure out where to conceal the reload. My revolver is a 9mm and uses moon clips so I could find a cylinder type container, but then I have a big ol cylinder sticking out of my pocket along with the bulge from the revolver cylinder. Just don't know how it would be as convenient as a semiauto. Maybe if I could design a belt buckle that holds moon clips...

Revolvers are also heavier, my LCP is 17oz while the original Bodyguard .380 is 12oz. That cylinder is a big chunk of metal. You also get no safety. Most people look at revolvers for pocket carry which is why I got mine but they don't really work out better than a semiauto imo. Still fun to shoot.

.22lr isn't only weak. A problem just as bad with it is inconsistency. Semi autos turn those inconsistencies into serious reliability issues, malfunctions that need to be cleared between shots. Revolvers already have all the rounds chambered and can continue past duds normally, making the inconsistency much less of a practical issue.
Semi vs revolver capacity standards also somewhat overlap in the case of .22lr, with 10 being the norm for full size semis and 10 also fairly common for revolvers, when they aren't specifically trying to be classic six shooters.

If you're settled on a .22lr for defense for whatever reason despite not having chosen one yet, and you have the strength for a double action trigger to not particularly be an issue, then a double action revolver is definitely the way to go.

I would trust my life to .22 magnum. More specifically federal punch ammunition. There are two main concerns with rimfire reliability, duds and ejection issues. Duds are unavoidable and are baked into the cake at the ammunition factory. If you can accept that, then the question becomes do you go for a revolver or semi automatic. From what I hear, Rugar mkIVs have excellent ejection reliability so if you have the cash, you canโ€™t go wrong there. Revolvers are also great and pretty cheap nowadays. Just pick what you shoot well with.

Thereโ€™s statistics showing that .22lr and .32 and other small calibers are 4x more likely to fail to stop an attacker no matter how many bullets are fired compared to .380, 9mm, .45, .40

Gunfight statistics are very unreliable due to the amount of variables, but I think the number of attackers who were NOT stopped by any amount of rounds fired being >40% by .22lr compared to ~10% for most duty calibers is concerning.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I do own other guns but when it comes to carrying I want the simplest solution possible. The one that will fire no matter how fucked the circumstances or how much I'm drowning in adrenaline.
To be fair (to be faaaaiiiir) if I had more time to train I'd probably carry a semi too but that's just not possible. And now that archery season is around the corner there's even less time.

Really depends mostly on the weather. When it's not too horribly hot (<95F) I prefer to carry my sp101 .357 in a custom shoulder holster with two speed loaders. I chose .357 because i work outdoors in areas with bears and mountain lions. When the weather is unbearable I usually just carry a pf9 in an iwb because its slim and light enough to cc with just a t shirt. I also have a Bond Arms .410 derringer that I pocket carry a lot. With #8 shot it's great for clearing out rattlesnakes, or with 000 buck it's fine as a backup or at home gun.

post body. If you have any v taper at all you should be on easy street for concealment if you wear a non-fitted tee because it will drape wider than your waist. I personally have unfortunately wide hips so no matter what I do I am a rectangle, which makes concealment more difficult without wearing oversized shirts.

Me post simround training. I'm nothing but V taper and shirts don't drape like what you're describing. Not even some cheap Walmart fit or wearing a size up. They don't just become a dress, they fit tight around the waist enough that a gun handle will stick out. I'm not gonna walk around in a shirt 2 sizes too big just ti conceal a gun when I can just stick it innapocket.

More capacity, better ergonomics, thinner and easier to mount a light than a revolver.

My EDC is normally either a P365 or a 642
The P365 weighs 22.5oz
The 642 comes in at 16.5oz
Time of year and where I'll be is my biggest factor.

My mother carries a revolver because one of her hands is partially paralyzed and she can't reliably rack or load an auto. One of my sisters has a revolver as well because she's not as confident with autos.
All the rest of us carry varying calibers of automatics. I have a .22 as a backup gun, alongside a pocket .380 and a 1911 that I swap out based on the season and what clothes I'm wearing (I'm in a mag-limit state so there's no point in a Wondernine).
>my primary consideration
The thing that feels most natural on my hip and which guns I can put a full mag into the X-ring with at common defense ranges. That's pretty much it.

Probably people who want to see what the top level of performance and tactical based shooters are doing, to get a good measure of what is and isn't important. But if I go by your logic, Brazilian off duty cops CCW'ng tiny pocket 380s and 38 specials are capping criminals left and right with iron sights in a country much more dangerous than the USA

Why on earth would someone carry a PPK instead of a more modern 380 aside from MUH JAMES BOND GUN autism? A bodyguard has the same capacity and is a lot smaller and lighter. It's a better gun desu because 380 PPKs suck dick, they were designed for .32

some people like PPKs and are proficient shooting/handling them (though yeah it's a century-old design)
Yes .32 ACP PP/PPK is best

I carry a Bersa Thunder .380 cause i have tiny asian hands. Single stack is much more comfy for me. It's also slim enough that i feel comfy in skinny jeans. I carry a Glock 19 in the winter when a coat or hoodie makes it feel less bulky.

I pocket carry a .327 fedmag hammerless LCR.
Revolver because of the manual of arms and pocket printing,
LCR because of the weight and trigger considerations,
.327 because I wanted the 6 rounds without dealing a fat pig of a gun while maintaining close-to-357 magnum ballistic performance.
It's 50-state legal, even with the full retard places ala MA and Cali.

Do you not go out at night? Any time Iโ€™ve ever been in a situation where i thought i may need to draw was in poorly lit urban environments while returning to my vehicle. A wml is a must for me. I shoot revolvers very well but because most lack the ability to mount a light it makes autos an easy choice. P10c + x300u for me.

Ruger Ec9s: very thin and easy to carry IWB.
Remington Rm380: easily pocketable while being more controllable and pleasant than my P3AT.
Ruger SR22: toss it in a box holster, ride motorcycle into desert and plink.
Taurus 905 or P80 notG26: Also box holster on motorcycle, but not when going plinking.

This reminds me I need to take my old PT-22 and PT111G2 out and have some fun with them. Maybe should make a flap holster for my G17 too.

Anyone still saying lights are useless in 2025 is basically just a range queen who thinks being decent in IDPA means they're the masters of DGUs. Don't expect them to have any actual experience.

I carry both, but the J frame is just more comfortable to pocket carry so that's what I end up using most of the time, with a spare speed strip in a soft pouch meant for glasses. It isn't a high speed setup by any means, but it is a good blend of being effective enough while not getting in the way of anything at all.

The automatic is a Kahr CW9. The grip is longer so that requires IWB to really conceal, which becomes more of a process to set up and disarm. I do it sometimes, but the convenience of the J frame wins out 90% of the time. I can also pocket carry the CW9 but the grip prints slightly. Might swap it for a Bodyguard 2.0 at some point.
