My 2 primary carry guns are the Glock 27 and Smith Centennial .38 spl.
I like 'em both.

Revolver or auto for conceal carry?

The revolver probably wins out. I carry my S&W m640 .357mag about 55-60% of the time. That will change once I am working regularly at our new business and need something more concealable. It will then be a Kahr PM9 most of the time.
S&W Model 21, .44 Special
I answered revolver, because that's my answer most of the time. Generally I'm carrying an N-frame Smith, lately a new, 4-inch barrel Model 21 Classic with combat grips off a Model 629 2-inch snub. That or a Model 24. 44 Special, 2-inch snub. If I'm traveling or for some reason have to go to a rougher part of town, I will swap the revolver for a 1911.

I answered revolver, but just by a small margin. The fact is I change my carry gun at times. I do carry a semi at times (XD9) , but mostly I like my Ruger Speed Six .357 for carry. As far as at the range, I shoot my semi's more than my revolvers...just because I like shooting semi's more. But as much as I trust my semi's I give the reliability edge to my revolvers.
I also carry a S&W mod. 36 or mod. 60 at times.

I CC a Springfield XD40 sub compact 99% of the time that I walk out my front door.

Has anyone here read Ed Lovette's "The Snubby Revolver"?
He and I think alike. He wrote about ECQ (Extreme Close Quarters) fighting. He talks about when your "rolling in the mud and the blood and the beer" (Johnny Cash's song "A Boy Named Sue") a revolver proves it's worth. That has been my experience in life as well. I have been preaching the revolver for such close encounters for many years now and have even quoted Johnny Cash's song as well to others. It was kind of weird to see how closely Ed and I think alike.
Does anyone here know Ed Lovette personally?

Revolver about 75% of the time,either a Colt Dick Spl. or 3in. mod 65 S&W. Browning Hi-Po the rest of the time. In the past I frequently carried a 1911 but as mine are all stock G.I. models I can't pick up the sights quickly anymore so they stay home.
PBP: I don't need to sell you a carry method. I think you have most of the bases covered pretty well I meant when refering new shooters to the sport.
skoro: Have you read any other books by Ed Lovette? I know he has another book that was written with Dave Spaulding called "Defensive Living". I have not read this one yet. I am not aware of any other books by Mr Lovette. Are you aware of any others?

It still worked though. Whether you meant it to or not. Anytime anyone can mention revolvers and Johnny Cash in the same sentence they have my attention.
