I could never profess the most perfect carry revolver.
But I can certainly profess my own favorites.
My most favorite, for forever and always, is a 2-3/4" Security Six or Speed Six. Chambered in .357, it shoots them well. And when not in proximity of bears, +P .38 Specials are an absolute pleasure.
After that, there are some others that I could also carry without issue. An L-Frame S&W with any barrel 3" or shorter is a great choice.
And completely outclassed by the revolvers above, is the Ruger LCR. It works very well for me, and is quite accurate in spite of its diminutive size and weight.
