But it has absolutely nothing to do with what one might want to be carrying, should the need arise. One would choose a firearm that one can shoot effectively, rapidly; one that has adequate penetration--I would default to the FBI testing standards; and a sufficient capacity. What constitutes sufficient capacity? Consider these things:

Hello , I have had a CCW permit for years. I also am an NRA Instructor since the 90's. My personal belief is carry concealed by making yourself proficient with your carry gun/guns with the proper holsters. You are at a tactical disadvantage advertising your firearm. I am sure I am not the first person to say that! You have 0 advantage in advertising your condition of carry along with no need to verbally speak of it to people other than your spouse. I also believe she should have her permit and her OWN firearms. I have seen this kind of topic many times over the years and sometimes it ends nastily because the originator forgets to go back to original premise .....CONCEALED ! Good Luck ......

Well as far as what you should carry base it on what you can hit with. No hotrod specialty gun is worth a plug nickel if the man carrying it can't hit the broad side of a barn. If you are comfortable with an SAA then carry it.
I carry a S&W 329PD 4" TI cylinder Scandium framed wheel gun every day full of 240g white box rounds. Mine has had the internal lock pulled and I put one of my LOCK DELETE part set and one of my Combat Cylinder Releases which is an all steel cylinder unlocking bolt or the Smith to replace the MIM bolt. I make both parts out here in AZ. (yes capitols its the branding name for my parts) Overkill for the streets of Phx probably. But its a very comfortable gun for me that has had two potential failures that I'm not willing to risk my life on removed with parts swap. Not to mention its only 25 oz empty so I don't even notice I'm carrying it most of the time. |
