Ruger SP101 Carry: Everyday Carry Pocket Dump of the Day

Yes, revolvers can be used for daily carry (and it’s nice to see one here). This one’s a Ruger SP101 chambered in .38 Special.

If you’re thinking “what about my .357 Magnum?”…well, here’s the thing. If you can’t nail consistent groups with your gun while you’re under the stress of an attack, you’re going to have a bad time. As awesome as .357 Magnums are, .38 Specials have significantly less muzzle rise and are easier to run.

You need to be able to run your self-defense gun and the use of .38 Special gives you an edge. After all, shots you can’t land are not only wasted but dangerous: you are responsible for every shot you fire.

So, .357 Magnum or .38 Special for concealed carry?
