I just read all 22 pages and here is my answer, carry what you feel comfortable with. practice, practice practice.

Practice firing, practice reloading, practice drawing.

I have lots of handguns, I shoot most of them I will carry a 642 and either a an auto or a revolver whatever I feel comfortable with. normally that is a K frame revolver but sometimes if I feel like it it will be a Glock 30 or a Browning Hi power or a 1911.

The one time I needed a firearm badly I was fortunate enough to be an M60 gunner and I was very good with that too, but unless I mount one on my truck I will stick with a handgun right now sitting next to me is a 642 that takes moon clips.

I don't plan on running into a large group of bikers or criminals but that being said after recent events in Milwaukee that is not to far fetched so I carry extra ammo in speed loaders moon clips or magazines just to be careful, I also carry a flashlight and a sap and pepper spray and a good pocket folder.
