Wow! My post took on a pretty wild ride.
It started with a simple question & evolved into
Huge gun battles, martial arts, etc.
Up until 3.5 yrs. ago I only carried a revolver.
Then I got caught up in “did I have enough
rounds just in case”! So I asked my wife’s
baby brother(special forces) what he carried
& he said Glock 19. So off I went & bought a
G19 gen 4. I expected to shoot better & I did.
The G19 was ok to carry but I wanted something
smaller & bought the G43. A little more
difficult for me to shoot, but with a lot of practice
I became proficient. Only have a couple of jams
with the G43 but that was my fault & quickly
Fixed that. Now back to my post. I carry
My revolver, one a S&W 686 + 3” or
A 2” vindicator both in 357 in magnum
Most of the time & occasionally just because I feel like it I carry
One of my Glocks. I’m not worried about a gun
battle with a gang of attackers. I just want to
be prepared because there seems to me to
be more idiots & bad guys carrying who don’t
Seem to care about using violence for almost
any reasons just because & you can fill in
the blanks. In all of my years carrying, I
Only drew my revolver out once & that was in 1972
When I was on the force. But I’m very glad that
I have a choice to carry either revolver or
A Pistol.
