My main carry right now is a S&W 15-3 /w 2" barrel. I carry a Ruger Police Service-Six at home. My church safety team carry is a S&W 66-8.

Excellent choices Slim.
Several Lustrum ago I consulted with numerous Chicago & Minneapolis and Denver LEO and plaincothes detectives. Based on their real world experiences and the Downtown ER Doctor reports,  I have settled on and advise the use of glaser safety slugs in enclosed spaces. The efficacy is literally shocking, and overpenetration and collateral damage is virtually nonexistant.

One Leo used .45 acp first 4 glasers, followed by supervel flying ashtrays ( no longer made)

In low threat environments I sometimes carry a .22 WMR Heritage Barkeep or a .45 LC Cimarron 1893 in a shoulder bag.

Boy, we had one come in the shop today on consignment. A 3" S&W 686 Plus [7 shot] 357 Magnum with the round butt with Altamont grips. Oh my, what a perfect carry gun!

For about the last 8 years I have been carrying a 642 S&W.  I went back to a revolver when I was having a series of shoulder surgery's.  The revolver was the easiest to load and shoot one handed, and with my off hand.
  I also found that those thick padded slings are a great place to carry.
 The 642 is so easy to carry, it stays on me all day every day.  When I was carrying a full size gun, I could not wait to get it off me as soon as I was home.  DR

I'm not all that about .380, I've had a few, but currently nothing so chambered.

Many years ago (30 +), I had an Arcadia Machine and Tool Backup 380 (AMT DA Backup)
  These were Stainless Steel semi autos (in the Seacamp size range) pocket 380's.
They were snappy, and not all that, I traded it off never sorry.
Probably, somewhere around then I acquired a Romanian PPK .380 clone.
Shotgun News posted a deal, Buy @ $129 or buy 3 at $105.ea.
So, 3 of us pooled and we ordered 3 of them.
Fit & Finish was cob like, but it did function.
Like the AMT, the broad side of a barn was reasonably safe.

My Pard had a Beretta Mod. 1934, and I have a M1935 both are WW2 bring backs.
 I fell for the charms of the 32acp. and have collected several though I never carry them concealed. Several have provenance in WW1 or WW2 service.   



 
 

Planets must have aligned so y'all did the deal!! 

Typically carry a Taurus .38spl and for church service (hey slim).
Rest of the time I'm home with um every where! Usually a Remington in .45C or a Dragoon or ROA also in 45C  .  .  .

Either a Colt Mustang .380 ltwt or a Scandium ltwt J Frame in .38 spcl. I pocket carry them. I use Hornady Critical Defense ammo.

Taurus up'ed their game several years ago. I had purchased a Model 85 38 spcl. revolver
as road hazard toolbox gun for my wife's SUV. some years ago.
It was after Bangor Punta holding company dual ownership of both S&W & Taurus.
 The 85 is and has been trouble free.
Then earlier this year, I took a Taurus 605 Poly Protector in a partial trade.

I figured it for trading fodder down the road a bit... however, I have decided it will be the road hazard toolbox gun in my SUV. Though it is a .357 Mag, it's some snappy with magnums so its diet is
38 Wadcutters, and it shoots very well.
I sill pocket carry a Smith 642, but the Taurus is a neat lite gun and @ 1/2 the price of the Ruger LCR.
Perfect in Stainless/Ploy so rust is not an issue.
I opted to retain the longer grips, but it does come with a shorter CCW grip included.
CCW was not my planned carry for this revolver.
