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

So, what are you all carrying?

    I actually do carry a SAA. In a citizen involved shooting, you’ll rarely need more than 5-6 shots. I carry extra ammo, but I don’t expect to survive a sustained gunfight, even with a semi auto.

      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 ;)
