Top 5 Unusual Concealed Carry Revolvers
In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves talks about 5 weird-ish revolvers for concealed carry. We aren’t discussing ZANY handguns like a Colt Single Action Army or a Nagant revolver – we are talking about wheelguns that are actually decent, viable carry options: They are just a little weird in their own special way. We also talk about Kenny G, mythril, Wolverine’s skeleton, and Blade Runner. It’s one of those videos.

Small enough for concealed carry, certainly unusual, my pick for #4 (controversial slot) pick of top 5 unusual revolvers for concealed carry...
https://northamericanarms.c...
Top break! Single action! .22 magnum? But in a 4 inch barrel.
Seriously, there are only two things I don't like about this revolver. One is the vestigial sights. The other is the top-break lever is too easily caught unintentionally when rapidly cocking the hammer.
Why such a weird pick? What could I possibly love about such a 19th-Century level of technology? No, it's not the fact it is exempt from the California "Safe Handgun Roster".
It's the form factor.
I think the old .32 S&W single-action top-break pocket revolvers had such a great run of popularity and longevity because the form factor is so good for concealed carry.
I discovered this accidentally when playing around with a reproduction model 1863 .31 caliber Remington pocket revolver. It slips perfectly into the outside pocket of a suit jacket, sits stably without shifting around, is grasped easily in the pocket, and withdraws cleanly from the pocket without snagging.
It works almost as well in the front pocket of jeans. The length is just right to remain concealed, yet the grip is easy to grasp because it sits close to the top of the pocket, and is skinny enough to grasp without your hand bunching up to plug the pocket opening.
Even though the spur-trigger single action revolver looks too long for easy concealment, it's just the right length and proportions for concealment. The key is how light and skinny the revolver is, the lack of a trigger guard, and the position of the grip. Those features combined make a good fit for pocket carry.
No love for the 327 mag?
