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

[jeepasaurusrex]

I carry mine in a Blackhawk Serpa

Lately, I have this combo, Keltec PF9 with a Desantis pocket liner holster, very light and concealable...

Have carried both revolvers and semi autos for work for over 20 years. I usually carry both an auto and a back-up revolver.

For size, comfortability, durability, resistance to rust and carrying it every day while hunting, fishing, shopping, hiking etc,  would suggest a small 5 shot 38 spl. revolver with plus P ammo. S&W makes a nice one and would also suggest carrying a few loaded speed loaders if 5 shots is not enough for you. Ruger and Taurus make light weight revolvers  too that are decent firearms for the money. You will find that you will not carry your firearm if it is not comfortable to carry and easy to conceal. That is why I suggest the small revolver.

Carry mine everywhere and I find because of size and easiness for concealment, comfortability I typically will take the revolver. In the pants band holster or a fanny pack

Remember safe handling of your firearms and practice, practice, practice on a regular and safe basis, and suggest taking a concealed carry shooting course from a reputable instructor.

I like the little Beretta tomcat in .25 auto.

I just picked up an XD 40 and a Blackhawk Serpa holser/paddle. I really like the Serpa so far.

I keep my .45 in a Bladetech holster. Good for a night out on the town, but I use my Bianchi MP issued when Im in the woods. As for a strictly conceal carry gun, I wouldn't mind getting one of these baby's. S&W .357 airlite

[ICEMAN]

Muleysniper, I would love that pistol if they made it in .327 magnum..... Charter Arms makes a 2.2 inch barrel version, but no titanium that I can recall, and...most importantly it is not a smith...

[thinkingman]

I carry a Kahr PM9...6+1 and as thin and light as you could imagine.
I would seriously consider a polymer or alloy 38+p revolver.
I think SW 642 is about perfect.
I have shot a SW 360 357magnumb and it is the most violent handgun I've ever shot, and I've shot the most powerful handguns made.

I like the little Beretta tomcat in .25 auto.

FWIW the Beretta® Tomcat™ is a 32ACP. The Bobcat™ is available in 22LR of 25ACP.

i had AJ concealaco make me a custom IWB holster for my HK. i can wear it all day. i dont know how you guys wear those blade techs, they look a might uncomfortable. i gotta have leather. horse hide in fact 

[Remmark]

Either one is good. Been a revolver fan for decades and only recently switched to a S & W M&P 40 C (compact). It is the same size and weight as my Ruger SP101 and holds twice as much ammunition.       
 What is important that you don't hear much about is how does a particular gun fit your body for concealed carry.         
 I can carry a S & W Model 29, 4" barrel better that alot of autos out there that are a lot smaller due to my body configuration. I am a little guy at 135 lbs. I have trouble getting an auto to feel somewhat comfortable whereas almost any reolver "fits" immediately with almost any holster.  My favorite carry revolver is a Ruger Speed Six,2 3/4" .38 special. Although, I was not opposed to carrying an 8 shot 3 1/2 "  S & W model 27 occassionally that I had.

Whichever you are most comfortable and mroe importantly most capable with.

[huntnphool]

I carry a Beretta 92FS. 

Me too most of the time, in the field I carry a FN FiveSeven to cut down on weight and give me more range.

I don't know how you guys carry IWB all day. 

Someone mentioned they need to keep it near the belt line.  I do too.  That is why I went with the blackhawk check six with a Colt Commander.  FWIW I would rather not go with any holster that doesn't snap to your belt or let your belt thread through it.  Last thing I want to have happen is for the holster to come out with the gun when drawing.

I am going eventually get a small revolver or kahr with an ankle or pocket holster for when I wear a tucked-in shirt for work.
