I was just reading another thread and didn't want to take it further off topic so I decided to put my post here and maybe we can discuss this.

I carry concealed most of the time but sometimes I open carry. The reason I carry is for self defense. I don't carry for battle and I don't carry to put down riots. It is a simple handgun for fending off a person who places me or those I love in mortal danger.
I figure that the job can be done with a single action revolver if you are good with it just as well as it can be done with a 10mm 15 round semi-auto that you are good with. The idea was brought up that a particular gun was not good for carry because it wasn't a "battle" gun.

Do you carry a battle gun or a self defense gun and what are your feelings on the differences?
