Summer Carry: Ditch LCP for J-Frame? - Page 2

I'm going to disagree with a few people here. I'd pick the gun that requires the least amount of change on your part. My carry gun is a tool. And the day I start living around it (changing the way I dress, stand, where I go, etc.) is the day I start looking for another gun. The tool should work for you, not the other way around.

So in short, carry whatever is easier. The most effective gun is the one you have with you, shot placement is key, yadda yadda yadda.

i have no realey small auto,s,the smallest is a s&w 3913. i carry a old S&W 60 i got in 1974 and had the hammer bobbed(i can still cock it if needed). i carry it in a isp holster mostly. but i have carried it in the pocket of a light jacket in bad naborhoods with my hand on it and i know i can fire it thru the pocket more than once if needed. try that with a small auto, i have and its usely a one shot deal. i do have a glock 22 in .40S&W that i keep in the car. if i know trouble is comming i go else where quick. eastbank.
