Any C and R revolvers that would make a good Concealed Carry gun? Obviously reliable and ammunition is available.

The only cheap C&R revolver I know if is the Nagant revolver and that would be pretty much at the bottom of my list. If you want a revolver for carry I picked up a S&W 642 for $361 from Bud's Gun Shop. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a suitable C&R at that price.

Sometimes J and G sales in Prescott AZ has some C&R eligible revolvers in there Collectors Corner but they are usually rare or somewhat unique and in the $500 plus range. Nagants are interesting but not for CCW, bad DA trigger pull, low powered ammo, not much for choices in ammo.
-
If you're willing to expand your search to automatics there are several C&R eligible guns that would work. CZ-82's are excellent little guns, very accurate, reliable and cheap at about $200. Is there a specific reason you want to carry a C&R gun? Price, or just nostalgia?
-
It's probably not the best for self-defense, but there is the CZ52 as well.

Hornady makes good hollow point ammo for the CZ-82 and both of mine fuction perfect with it.

I thought maybe they could be purchased a little cheaper. I thought about a pistol like the CZ-82 but didn't know about reliability. I am new to Concealed Carry. I was also thinking of carrying my Tokarev. Haven't tried hp in it, yet.
