Seeing some things people carry made me think of this guy.

So, what are you all carrying?

    Not to disagree with your choices, but what is your threat model that you can use a revolver to neutralize?

      I’m out in the woods a lot and I just like the SAA. But coyotes, black bears, humans. I run Hormandy Critical Duty/Defense 185 grain hallowpoint.

      Just because it’s old or single action, doesn’t mean it wont stop a person. These pistols have proven themselves in many many battles/wars.

        Pistols and revolvers were sort of a status symbol in modern warfare not so much a weapon, I think. Tbh I won’t even carry my rifle because well it’s mostly useless in any type of combat unless you train every second day and shoot a lot.

        I once had to shoot a wild hog, wasn’t a fun experience - dumb, tough and stubborn. Hope you won’t need to use yours any time soon. 😊

          Ok? I’m not open carrying my AR just to go shopping at walmart lol. (not that I’m against the idea but long guns suck getting/out of vehicles and tight space).

          I’ve heard hogs are “fun” to hunt. Sadly my state outlawed hog hunting last year. Not that Ohio has a huge outbreak of them compared out west. Glad you are ok though.

          I hope I don’t either ;)
