Just got a Taurus 650 with CT Lasergrips. 2" bbl, 5 rounds. Got it to replace my Taurus 850 (.38 SPL). Figured I'd use .38 SPL in 3 chambers, .357 in the last 2 just in case, and the laser might deter a crook just by the sight of it zeroing in on him!

I normally carry the S&W M&P 40, but will carry the 650 as back-up. I like the .40 round - very manageable kick, good knock-down power, plenty of ammo around since it's not one of the preferred calibers. I used to carry the Glock 23, but got the M&P 40 as I was never quite comfortable with the Glock trigger safety as the only safety.

Well usually ill carry my Colt Combat Commander as a primary and a .357 sp101 loaded with +p hps as a back up. But often ill carry my Gp-100 as a primary and use either my sp101 or my bersa .380 as my back up. In colder weather i like having my GP100 in a shoulder holster. Its nice... It usually doubles as my House gun also.

I alternate between a 44 Spl. and a .357. The Taurus 605 is the bedside weapon, so I gues that's primary now. Wife prefers it - well, actually she prefers my Blackhawk .357.

My wife's bedside gun is a Model 60. It's loaded with .38+P's right now but I'm loading hornady XTP .357's for it. I keep a 4006 on my side of the bed.

I have often carried a 357 and used it as a house gun as well. Since my wife has taken ownership of my SP101 I keep it loaded with 38 +p's and keep a 45 by my bed.

My S&W 627 Perf Center is my bedroom gun--8 rounds of .357 and a silky smooth trigger that rivals my Python.

My GP100 is my primary gun. You can have your 9mm, 40 or 45 ACP....but I'll take my .357 all day.

I'm not a big semi-auto fan....less is more for me. I am however looking to add a an SP101 to the Ruger family for more of a daily carry.

I have two guns in my bedroom all the time. One of them is an EAA 2 inch 357 Mag. It's a heavy gun. My wife can handle the recoil fine because its not a lightweight.

I used to have a Rossi snub loaded with .357's in my closet until I traded it along with another gun for the 9mm I own now.

My 681 is my always outdoor-woods carry piece. Sometimes carry during normal routine around town, with proper cover over. It's simple, always works, and with fixed sights, it is snag less with any covering.
