what would be best for conceal carry a revolver or a semi auto

[NW-GSP]

the revolver is nice due to she simplicity and dependability but the semi auto can carry more rounds.

[huntnphool]

Semi auto for me, they tend to be lighter and slimmer on average as well.

[NRA4LIFE]

Semi-auto's are a lot lighter and like Phool said a lot slimmer.  Although Ruger's new LCR revovler  in .38+P weighs in at 13.5 ounces.  Might be a nice to have.

[NW-GSP]

Ive looked at the lCR and it would be nice, Im just thinking more rounds would be nice to have

[jeepasaurusrex]

I carry a Beretta 92FS.

Get an auto... unless you plan on packing it in Dodge City... circa 1875. I carry a 4" (service size) XD... with the Mec-Gar mags it's 18+1 and weighs about 32oz.

The "best" one is what you feel the most comfortable with, handle the best and shoot the best for you, If your comfortable with the Firearm then you will carry it, if not people tend to leave it home and it is no good there. Handle alot of the Firearms you are considering and try to if you can shoot them. load and unload and try putting them in the holster you plan on using and on your person to see if it works for you.
As far as the revolver over semi auto argument for the increase in capacity i think that is more of a preference thing in capacity, being able to carry comfortably and concealed is more important, having 12 rounds and being uncomfortable is not good.
Different size people can carry differnt Firearms, my other half carries a S&W ladysmith in .38, i cant stand that little gun but for her it's great, i used to carry a subcompact .40 that only held 7 rounds but have switched to a Smith 340pd, only 5 rounds but it weighs 12oz and i can carry it in different positions (on body or ankle) with no problems even wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
I would love to carry my kimber .45 but that is not pratical for me, and im not a little guy either.

What? No .45 in the butt crack holster?

Holy cow 19 rounds, that is laying down the lead curtain 
How long is that gun with that mag installed??

I gain any more weight i could hide a desert eagle in there.

You wouldn't know I had it on me.... nobody has made me yet. My wife knows I'm heeled everywhere I go, yet she has never said anything about me printing or that she noticed the pistol at all.

It's a standard service size pistol... almost exactly the same size as a 1911 with a 4" slide... a little thicker through the grip... but not much.

Kimber 45 Custom II for me. Mark

That mag hangs out the bottom of the grip? from the top of the slide to the bottom of the mag is it longer than from the back of the slide to the front of the barrel?

[JoshT]

Nope... flush fit mag, and the slide is longer than the distance from the rear sight to the bottom of the mag (also, the standard mags are 16+1). Very well designed pistol... the best of the polymer guns.
