What I’m Carrying Now: A Smith & Wesson Model 640 That My Wife Didn’t Know About

My wife caught me arranging my WICN photo ensemble and I was a little embarrassed as this gun was purchased on a need-to-know basis. The Smith & Wesson Model 640 .357 magnum is a Pro Series which includes the dovetailed night sights and the cylinder mods to accept the moon clips.

I carry two clips in my right pocket for a total of 15 rounds. Not so many, but I work on shot placement. Which is why I replaced the grips with full size Pachmayrs. Serious pain without them and seldom a good second shot.

The IWB holster is by Kramer in horse hide which works well in this Alabama climate and carries this all steel pistol in comfort with good retention. The stiff construction stays open for quick re-holster.

Normally I carry a Leatherman tool for a knife, but I broke it (under warranty) and I got this old Benchmade out for blade duty.

The little Surefire flashlight is a marvel and other than my wallet, it’s the most-used EDC.

The USCCA membership reminds me the real world is not always just and there are dire consequences that accompany my 2A rights.

Peace be with you.
