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

[ecnclan]

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.

Carry a Ruger SP101.  May not work for some but I've never felt undergunned with it.

I have all sorts of carry gun options, but the one I usually go back to is a SP 101, 5 shot .357.

I'm happy with it.  Luckily, I've never had to use it.

how often does a revolver miss fire? how many shots at point blank due you need ? autos are a blast to shoot but I'll stick to my revoler when my lifes on the line.

Eventhough my CCWs are semi-autos, I have to agree.  Can't beat a good 4" .357 with 110-125 gr .38+p's for home protection... maybe, a pump 12 gauge w/#4's... messy!

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.

Thats what I carry in town. A little smith 642.

My main carry grab is a Keltec 380 front pocket. It's so easy.
