Revolvers as CCW guns?

[Hawkeye6]

I like my .44 Mag Ruger SRH with a 7.5" barrel, but its awfully hard to CCW it.

OK, now that I've been a SA this morning -- Yes. I have used Ruger and S&W revovlers for CCW carry guns. The disadvantage that I see (comaring to, say, a 1911) is the bulk of the cylinder.

Some folks say the semi gives you greater firepower due to the magazine with 7-15 rounds. Also that its easier to change mags than to reload a revolver whether you use speed strips or speed loaders. Both of these are probably true, but I fervently hope that I need the difference between 6 and 15 -- or to reload. If I do, I'm not sure a handgun is what I'd really want anyway!!!
