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. Here are a few of them, along with our list of the best concealed carry revolvers.
Reliability
Revolvers are seen as more reliable than pistols. Their designs are simple and reliable, giving shooters added confidence in high-stress situations. Most double-action revolvers are able to be fired with the pull of a trigger, making the shooting process that much easier. Revolvers are a great point and shoot option without the stress of clicking a safety off or potentially having to chamber a round before shooting.
Capacity
Pistols have the advantage when it comes to capacity, but revolvers can still get the job done. While pistols can hold as many rounds as the magazine is able, revolvers are limited to the number of rounds in the chamber. While the most common cylinders hold 6 rounds, some revolvers like the Ruger Super Redhawk have 8 round chambers.
Speed
When it comes to concealed carry firearms, speed is essential. The time it takes to grab, aim, and fire your gun is a very important aspect of the decision on your next gun. The reloading speed can also be important. Double-action revolvers are a great option for quick shots. While pistols may have the advantage of reloading speed with an extra mag, revolvers can be quickly reloaded with speedloaders.
Cartridges
Revolvers come in a variety of calibers to meet your preferences and needs. From 357 to 44 Magnum to even 9mm Revolvers, MidwayUSA has a revolver in your favorite caliber.
Accessories
Pistols are more widely known for their compatibility with accessories like weapon lights and lasers, but some revolvers share that compatibility. Models like the Chiappa Rhino have rails for mounted accessories, and there are many laser grips and accessories designed specifically for revolvers.

Taurus 605 Revolver
Made for the very serious business of self-preservation the 605 is built to the Taurus Zero Tolerance standard in design, fabrication, fit and performance. Meaning there is simply no tolerance for parts that do not perform as if someone's life depends on them. Using the powerful .357 Magnum ammo this quick-draw revolver has plenty of muscle to back it up. Features include fixed sights, crisp single-double action trigger and a transfer bar for added safety.
Taurus revolvers all feature the Taurus Security System, which provides instant-ready defense with built-in ability to secure your pistol and make it inoperable at the turn of a key. When the Security System is engaged, the pistol cannot be fired or cocked and the gun's manual safety cannot be disengaged. The device is part of the firearm and cannot be lost, and the same special Security Key works for both the revolver and pistol Systems (two keys come with most guns). To engage: simply insert the Key into the button on the rear or side of the pistol and rotate one-quarter turn clockwise. This engages the Security System. The manual safety cannot be moved and the trigger cannot be pulled. To disengage: simply rotate the key one-quarter turn back. This releases the Security System, yet leaves the pistol's manual safety in the "safe" position until you are ready to release it yourself and fire the gun.
