Perfect carry revolver?

[Alan]

What is your go-to revolver for everyday carry and what makes it your top choice? I'd love to hear experiences from those who rely on wheelguns daily and find out what truly performs best in practical situations.

I'll have to go with the 642. light, I don't notice either the weight or bulk.

Currently - S&W model 60."Ladysmith", great little .357 carry gun. Last winter while getting a big round bale I got a coyote with it from the tractor seat- two handed rest on the steering wheel at just over 80 yards. He was headed for the chicken yard.. I was just using factory federal 158 grain round nose 38 Specials, held a level sight picture at his backline over his shoulder, hit him in the center chest.
My boys and I regularly shoot at chicken silhouettes at 100 yards plus with handguns, from a good rest its amazing how well even a short barreled revolver can shoot.
Before I got the Ladysmith, they'd give me a hard time about my carry revolvers... a pair of original 1875 vintage S&W model 1 & 1/2s in .32 S&W short. but those fit easily in my pants or jacket pocket, and I shot plenty of ground squirrels and other yard varmints with them.. though now its hard to see those tiny sights...

+1 for Ruger SP101… my snubbie has the spurless hammer, for a smooth draw.
