Top 5 Concealed Carry Revolvers

Choosing the right concealed carry revolver can make all the difference in a self-defense situation. Carrying a revolver instead of a magazine fed pistol has pros and cons, revolvers are seen as more reliable but are limited by their capacity. The two main things to decide on when choosing a concealed carry revolver is barrel length and caliber. Most concealed carry revolvers will have a barrel length of 3 inches or less. For cartridge the majority will either be 38 special or 357 magnum. This list has everything from our top of the line choices for a carry revolver to some of our best options for a conceal carry revolver on a budget.

Perfect conceal carry

I purchased this pistol with the single/double action instead of the DAO. I am glad that I did. I put 50 rounds through the revolver this weekend and loved every minute of it. The single action is a very light touch and makes the pistol very accurate. The recoil did not make a difference. Two of us fired the pistol and neither of us felt that recoil was an issue whatsoever We were firing 158 grain lead bullets. The trigger is very crisp in single action and the double action firing is flawless. There is absolutely no stacking. I prefer the exposed hammer. I use a cross draw holster and have no problems with the hammer interfering in the draw. The heavy frame and the rubber grips do their job. The pistol is very stable and easy to shoot. This revolver is a winner in all categories. I personally like this model over the larger version of the King Cobra. This Carry model just fits the bill perfectly. And to repeat, the hammer makes this an even more accurate tool.

My favorite.357

My favorite .357 to shot at the range. Shot great with .38 and lighter .357 load can get a little unforgiving with heavier loads.

High Quality Revolver In A Small Package

Can't think of a much better pocket carry firearm for self defense. You won't have to worry about an out of battery - semi auto situation, or having to train to remember to turn off a safety. Just point and shoot. You won't win many 50 yard target shooting competitions, but for the purpose it was designed for, the LCR 38 Sp + P is just about as good it gets.
