What what I gather, conceal carrying revolvers is apparently aids because its cylinder can get in the way of a lot of carry setups? I have never concealed carried any weapon so I am just not sure what I even would want to experiment with. I guess I am just looking for minimal annoyance. I also hear that because of the size on revolvers, a lot of the IWB holsters don't work well because you still can't get the cylinder under the waist band and a lot of them sort of sit on top of the waist band almost.
They're cool.
The only reason I have found is that there won't be an out of battery failure if you are in super close proximity to the reason you're drawing your ccw, and god forbid, you're hand to hand and unable to get standoff distance.
22 mag revolvers are the perfect grandma carry prove me wrong
I would figure more would carry .38
Yeah, rimfires have heavier triggers
.327 with .32 h&r or .32 s&w long.
gun in your pocket, can fire through the pocket
traditional revolver carry is either in your vest (nobody wears vests), in your ankle holster (nobody wears ankle holsters), or mexican carry on your belt or in a pocket.
Ever wear a suit and couldn't figure out where to clip on your fricking moronic extendo mag appendix rig with tourniquet attachment? People used to just grab their revolvers and shove them inside the chest coat pocket and called it a night.
Well, "because I want to" is reason enough, you can work around the problems.
In the few European countries where CC is allowed, it is illegal to carry an automatic with a round in the pipe, unfortunately.
So your options are to break the law and carry it hot anyway (yeah people do it because the law is moronic),
carry a revolver so you don't need to worry about it,
or carry it exactly how the law says and make sure that they print that law on your tombstone when you get killed.
just say you cc a revolver because you like revolvers. you dont have to make shit up
If it's what you shoot best with under pressure (and I cannot stress the "under pressure" part) then that's what you should carry.
This is not the case for most people.
When I was CCing a revolver usually I ended up getting a soft holster that had a belt loop on it and putting it on the inside of the belt but outside my pants. Being a snub with a wider belt like a typical riggers belt it didn't really show past the bottom of it really at all. Didn't have any issues with drawing it or belt being too lose when I did. Found it rather comfy since it's a padded holster shirt didn't really need to go past the belt line since the bottom of it didn't poke past the belt much it wasn't noticable even if the shirt rode up a little bit.

What? Just look at IWB holsters for revolvers and you'd see that the cylinder clearly is under your waistband and not above it or whatever you're envisioning.
I put a 357 double action only in my pocket
No safety
Trench sights
No jams
Point and click
Loud noise
Is it possible to conceal a L-Frame .357 reasonably well? I love revolvers but really hate the really tiny J-Frame kind. Maybe a K-Frame one is more of what I am looking for? I only have L frame revolvers right now.
In a shoulder holster
Yes, but you have to dress accordingly. Jeans, undershirt, overshirt, etc.
Sure if you're a big guy. The kimber k6 is a great size for a 6 shooter.
