The ONLY 2 Guns I Carried This Year!

[@AllAboutSurvival]

It really shows the importance of mastering your carry firearms instead of constantly switching.

[@andrew_brent]

Absolutely 100% agree to carry what you are comfortable with!!!

[@tymccutchen]

Blessings to all. Praise Jesus 🙏🏻

[@jakejudson8578]

Yes Praise Christ Jesus!

[@brettdoney1307]

I went through 3 this year. I have settled with the Taurus GX4XL TORO, with a Holosun micro dot. My issue was the weight of my trusted Glock 19 of 13 years, causing hip pain.

[@rsl82568]

The smallest Handgun I have is the Bersa 380cc. I use Underwood Extreme Defense. It's Accurate. I shoot it very well. No Malfunctions. I love it.

[@chrisconway794]

I love my Bodygaurd .380 Gen 1. Used to carry this exclusively, but now prefer my 640 revolver with .357 loaded. Its just more stopping power, I'm kinda old school anyways. Never had a problem with my Bodyguard, but revolvers always work.

[@classicb100p]

I carried an HK P30 all year. Until I purchased a P30L. Unless I were to find myself out in the wild. Then it's my Smith model 29-3 in .44 mag. Might I suggest looking at the HK P30SK? The p30 line is a hammer fired DA/SA with a decocker. They're incredibly comfortable to hold. I highly recommend the line.

[@KingdomWarrior-tg7dn]

Missouri resident here. My two primary guns this year. Glock 19 as my duty weapon while working. Am looking to use something else next year. Primary off work- Glock 43x.

[@Darron-s9v]

Both are good reliable tools

[@zachaddington5264]

G26

[@mattyb5817]

19x for all the time carry is my go to

[@callmesceptical9114]

J-frame in my pocket nearly every day this past year. Heavy double action trigger, no safety needed, goes bang every pull! Occasionally a micro 1911, but don’t trust it like the revolver regardless of “cool factor”. L-frame .357 on hip when in woodlands. ✌️

[@violentmeadow]

I carry the old .380 Bodyguard for the same reasons, (I eliminated the safety). It is the flat version of my other carry gun - the 442.

[@markgotschall2914]

Sig 232 summer/spring, and Tarus 605 357 3" mag for fall/winter.

[@lostwreckage]

I'm with you on this. I appreciate striker-fired pistols, but I much prefer the DA/SA trigger for carry. This is one reason I like revolvers, even though many people give me a hard time about it.

[@FLYPHUS]

Right there with you. Loving my kimber k6s. If im not carrying that, it will be my s&w 686 plus.

[@FLYPHUS]

For the past year i carried a s&w 686 plus 3", and a kimber k6s. They will likely be my main carry guns for years to come.

[@alarranger]

I very much concur with your views and requirements for a carry gun. The one that I completely trust is the .380 Ruger LCP Max. In addition to your specs, it has a front night sight,10 round magazine and there is also a 12 round option. I also have a Viridian green laser laser mounted on it for poor light situations and/or hip shooting. I use a Vedder hard shell pocket holster because it very concealable, completely covers the trigger, and has a thumb push edge that ensures a safe and easy draw from my right front pocket. The ammo that is most accurate and expands the best for me is Hornady Critical Defense. I'm 71 years old. have arthritis, wear trifocal glasses, and I am a retired USAF Bands MSgt and a retired middle school band director in the Albuqureque NM area.

[@jakeg1148]

I'm the same way. I do carry the old-fashioned bodyguard, but by far, the two guns I carry most are a Ruger P85 and a snub nose 357.

[@Kblessthealien]

Glock 42 was it for many years but now it’s a shield plus in 30 super. Love it

[@jgpastora]

That’s definitely my next purchase

[@KC51-y7r]

The only two pistols I carry are either a S&W 442 performance center or a Kahr PM9. I’m personally a fan of smooth double action triggers for personal defense and those two firearms have phenomenal double action triggers. Lightweight, smooth double action, accurate, and reliable. Everything I need!

[@Thecelestial1]

Only lcpII Then upgraded to lcp max pocket carry. Loving the extra capacity magazines on the max.

[@travisfamilyfirst7675]

I have had and tried all the popular micro 9s, and I only carry 3 different ones.The shield plus is the king I carry that most of the year.. then I alternate between the sig p290, and a xds 9… and for the bonus mention I’ll even carry a xds .40 loaded with extreme penetrators if I’m in the woods…all great guns that are reliable and accurate..

[@johnelder4273]

I have been carrying two original LCPs .380 pistols as of late for similar reasons. Hammer fired, no manual safety, no magazine disconnect, just added Hogue grips to both and 13 pound recoil springs and stainless steel guide rods. Oh, and got two factory 7 round magazines so each gun holds 8 rounds total. If I feel the need for more gun I typically go to my Glock 27 or Glock 22 but one of the LCPs is always with me. Previously it was a snubby .38 special or .357 magnum but lately the duel .380s are my go to.

[@Thecelestial1]

Dual 380s is such a badass statement, possibly the name of your autobiography

[@kennethferguson4283]

I carry a 10 round Glock subcompact. The G33 in 357 Sig has enough power for both street and woods use. When loaded with Underwood ammo it reaches near 357 Mag. power, need I say more.

[@styreneblood]

I'm with you- I bought the new Bodyguard but 90% of the time I still go for the old one- it's just so easy to carry! I do the 7+1 with Sig defense ammo and I have complete confidence in it.

[@TonyAbbott-m1u]

My EDC is a Sig P238 380acp with Underwood monolithic ammo.

[@markmurphy7033]

For me I am somewhat similar to GFG w/ a LCP Max in a pocket carry holster everyday 95% of the time and a Sig Sauer BRG 938 in a pocket holster when I am out in the great outdoors.

[@ohiomike204]

I agree with you on the striker fired pistols. I had an incident where one went off in my pocket. I now carry a Ruger LCP Max .380 or a .357 J frame.

[@andrew_brent]

What kind of gun went off in your pocket if you don't care to tell? Thanks, hope you didn't get hurt.

[@justpray365]

In other words, you put your finger inside the trigger guard and pulled the trigger.

[@col.cottonhill6655]

​@@andrew_brenthe had an ND

[@JerryRedd-bs8xi]

357 SP101 and Taurus 605 357 always carrying one or both 2 is one one is none one on each hip and 3rd 605 357 in boot.

[@JerryRedd-bs8xi]

Love my 5 shot 2 inch 357s accurate and powerful.

[@ralphlilley8697]

I carried my 1st gen M&P compact 9 and my 2.0 M&P 10. I got the 10 for hiking, however I've been carrying it as EDC when the situation allowed.

[@taasch2505]

Just picked up a Ruger Max-9 with the 4" barrel. It came MOS ready with the readydot. Wasn't a fan, took it off after 2 weeks of trying to like it. I just prefer basic irons. The max9 fiber optic picks up pretty nice with blacked out rear. I just pray it proves reliable. If it doesn't work out I have a glock 23 I like and I'm thinking of going back to wheelguns too

[@elkwtz]

I carried the Canik Mete 9 and the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 and the Ruger LCP Max (before the 2.0)

[@larrygooch6233]

I agree with the double/single action.iv met and heard people say they didn't like it and I don't understand why.its the safe best of both worlds.

[@bigmattus]

43x mos with riton mprd , shield plus with ruger ready dot mostly, ruger max 9 with ready dot a few times, used to carry my gx4 toro with riton mprd a lot. My hellcat pro and sig x macro occasionally.

[@MickeyR6]

For me it was the CZ P-01 and the Springfield 1911 EMP

[@btyhntr]

Neither would be my choice. I have Ruger EC9S, Bersa Thunder 380 and Sig Sauer 1911 C3 in my edc rotation. All 3 provide different positives for the particular day I'm carrying. All are reliable, accurate and paired with underwood extreme defender ammunition are great choices for defensive capabilities.

[@jeffpaul8260]

I carried the ruger lcp2 about 361 days in 2024. the other carry gun was my taurus 856 snubbie. both guns i carry an extra reload just in case. both work for me and i hit what i need to hit with them. never tried a bodyguard but thats because i bought the lcp 2 instead as it was a special gunmetal gray version.

[@michaelcousineau822]

Hi Mark, I love your videos. I wanted to share my experience with my 2 SW Body guards. One had the green laser and one had a red laser. I loved the green one the most. BUT in two years of each other I ended up sending them both back to SW as the magazine eject button is made the same polymer that the frame is made from and there is a small slot on the magazine that that plastic button clicks into to hold the magazine into the gun and both guns had the same problem and the button would wear down so bad that after a few hundred rounds the magazine would self eject when you fired the gun and you would have to reload a new mag or reset. Either way I could no longer trust them so I sold both of my SW,s and I bought the Ruger LCPII and it is almost the very same gun but the ejector button is made of steal and it wont spit out the magazine when you need it the most. Food for T=thought keep up the good work that you do. Mike,..........

[@davehein7466]

I usually carry my Sig Sauer P365XL daily. Occasionally I'll carry my Springfield Armory 1911 (Loaded model). Sometimes both. 👍🏻😉

[@grapenut9]

Pretty much down to two this year, as well. Kimber K6xs and the original Sig P365, both Alabama holstered. Keeping it simple.

[@FLYPHUS]

Got my k6s in november, with the alabam holster. Absolutely love that firearm. Did have to send it back for a firing pin issue right off the bat though but no problems since

[@bsidenbend]

G29 10mm with 10rnd mag and 15rnd spare fall and winter. g19 9mm 15rnd mag 17 rnd spare spring and summer. I live in chicagoland and with heavier clothing go with the 10mm in colder months.

[@mikegray8164]

It’s always embarrassing for me to admit since nobody really likes them but I’ve carried the Taurus gx4 for the last 1.5 years. It’s been 100% reliable and being a smaller guy it fits my hands perfect. I did add some xs big dots which helped with accuracy.

[@JJFaber]

I carry one as part of my rotation. The trigger is great and it has been completely reliable. Don’t be embarrassed.

[@bigmattus]

Loved mine,I’ve got the gx4xl toro and the gx4 carry toro I’m thinking about re buying the gx4 toro the size and weight and capacity was great sold it to get other guns I wanted.

[@jeffwollman8969]

This year I carried the Glock 43 frame with the Brownells Glock 48 slide, with the Holoson green EPS CARRY, and a Glock OEM 6 round magazine with a four round FAB DEFENSE extension.

[@thomasdavis1732]

Have a g Gen 1 Shield 45 that I carry 90% of the time. When not carrying it I normally have my Sig P365 or Glock 19. Did just pick up the Canik Mete MC9 though.

[@RangeRoninChronicles]

For this year, the Glock G48 was my primary carry during the warm/hot months. The Glock G23 has been carried whenever I need to add layers of clothing coming into the colder months. With that said, the Sig Sauer P365-XMacro with thumb safety will be replacing the G48. The 23, a GEN4 version, is being replaced with a GEN5. As far as a manual thumb safety; I have no issues with them, as I have carried and fired more 1911 pistols than I care to tell about.

[@sluggou812beotch]

I carry an M9 G conversion 9 months out of the year, 99% of the time in a shoulder holster. I have larping stuff but practicality keeps it in the shoulder rig. The other three months (hunting season) I carry a 1911 (with lots o mods) with +P rounds in a shoulder rig. At times I carry an XDS45 or a 38 Derringer but only as a backup. The pistol i shoot the best is my mom's old Lady Smith. I've been shooting it since I was 10 but my wife seems to have that commandeered.

[@Poetry_on_a_Cracker]

Used to carry Glock G20 but now I carry Bersa Thunder Plus DA/SA 15+1. About half the weight and size of the G20. 🤷‍♂️

[@stevennutz1109]

In the wilderness I love a .357 usually my Ruger SP101.... every day I carry my Taurus G3C.. even thou I have much more expensive and elite handguns

[@codyjames1952]

What i been carrying city or mostly in the woods 1 Browning Hi Power 40 S&W 2 SIG P226 40 S&W 3 Colt Government Rail 45 ACP 4 Ruger Bisley Blackhawk 45 ACP /45 LC .

[@quoththeraven7]

You know what? Come to think of it, I would just rotate between three or 4 guns all year. Now it's five, because I'm carrying the HKVP 9SK. so I can't say it's just one or two guns that I carried all year. That wouldn't be accurate for me.

[@christophermead9800]

I carried the same gun for the last 2 years. Just a basic full size 45 caliber 1911 from Springfield Armory. Before, for years now, I carried the same pistol made by Colt. I don’t plan on switching in the future. Consistency is more important than people realize and the benefits of carrying a full size pistol outweigh the benefits of carrying a mouse gun or micro compact,

[@TylerGamer765]

My 2 main guns were the Ruger P95 and the Ruger LC9 pro. I’m not a big fan of striker fire either but now I got the Ruger RxM which I rly like so far. It’s a lot lighter than the big heavy P95. But if I had to use the RxM as conceal carry I can.

[@EsyuDach]

unless i"m on the trail or have the rifle for training, all I carried for the past 5 years has been the little Sig P938, in a front pants pocket holster. On the trail, I also take the silenced M21 Beretta, in rip to open velcro butt pack, worn at the navel. Rarely, when something calls for a rifle, the silenced 10.5" AR goes along, in 223, with 60 gr Nosler Partiion softpoints and 60 gr Aquila subsonic 22 ammo The only other gun that I own is an alloy framed variant of the 1911, in 9mm. That's the practice-gun, so that I dont wear out the little Sig. I have a 3" barreled version of the 22 unit for the Sig, too When I shoot the Sig, maybe 100 rds per year, it's with wussy handloads, 125 gr lrn at 700 fps. I dont want to have to replace that $700 pocket gun for a VERY long time.

[@michaelshearer3559]

I've been carrying my Sig p250 subcompact 9mm for past decade. Nothing beats it in terms of reliability and safety with great double action trigger.

[@tofolsalom5784]

P250 IS a 10 for me ( think It is posible to change calibers yet, with the same gun. Mine a 2sum kit 9mm and 4 extra barrels for each 357sig impress me). Instead of your bodyguard, a Db9 gen4 and I Carry G26 also ( others 2 glocks for range and home) I recently got the chance to get 2 old school new condition sale 6946 DAO and a CS9, that I am seriously think to purchase

[@sonoflibertync]

Smart. I have never liked manual safety on a semi automatic either. I’ve owned a few SIGs, but never cared for them a whole lot. Most days I am either carrying a Glock 43 or a Smith & Wesson model 36.

[@legrande1980]

12 years with a P938. For a few days this past year, I dabbled with the GX4, but the holster I currently have for it is uncomfortable.

[@benchampion4086]

I carry a revolver 95% of the time. I carry a Taurus Defender 365 in 38 Special +P.

[@Shuck-Shick-Blam]

I carry my S&W .38spl snubby revolver. It's an Airweight w/ internal hammer. I carry that when I'm in a hurry & want a small profile. I roll w/ +P as well.

If you like DA/SA, you may want to check out the LTT PX4 compact carry. They have a version that's decocker only, too.

[@billypimpsmackahoetheshoot3682]

I carried the same g2c and Bersa .380 in rotation for like 4 years, Both are oppsite guns and triggers to eachother

[@dmc3714]

I carried the Glock 26 with Federal 124 Grain HST JHP all year long. God Bless you.

[@W9HJBill]

In 2024, my EDC is one of 3 guns ... when I'm on the motorcycle, either the M17 or the FNX-45 in a shoulder holster. When I'm on foot only, my M&P 45 Shield 2.0.

[@smilingscottsman]

Very nice choices.

[@Cruiser777]

Yeah, that FNX is a nice pistol. I have one for 12 years, the most I carry. is the 19.😅 I'm not a big fan of 380s

[@W9HJBill]

@@Cruiser777 Yeah, since I got the FNX, I largely have stopped carrying the M17 and keep that in my gun belt. With the FNX I can keep one in the pipe and 2 spare 15 round mags in the shoulder holster and have more than enough stopping power for anything short of a war. Also, since it has a manual safety and a hammer, it's much safer to carry ready to rock than a striker fired weapon, even my S&W M&P.

[@Cruiser777]

@W9HJBill yeah and the decocker

[@andysharlofsky627]

Hi Mark,I carry the M&P bodyguard most of the time. Love that gun also I live at the beach in Alabama so it fits my bathing suit. Mine has the safety which is always on. The other one is the Shield 45 also with the safety always on. I grew up with a 1911 Gold Cup Match so the safety comes natural. Great video 😊

[@larrybachman6185]

I’ve been on a 2 year quest on finding a “slimmer” 9mm. I have been carrying the HK VP9sk for 4+ years and it’s a little “chubby”. Just have not found the “One”…

[@johnanderson2991]

It would be great if a reputable brand would make a micro compact 10rd 9mm da sa. I had hope for hk but oh well. Sa only has too many hot spots to comfortably carry.

[@callmesceptical9114]

I recently purchased a 10rd subcompact shield plus “with safety”. Plan to carry it hot, safety on… easily swiped down on the draw. Needs more practice. I don’t trust it enough yet to replace my EDC j-frame .38 snub. 😎✌️

[@jonrobb6512]

G43, G43x or GX4 for me.

[@jakemorrison548]

A friend of ours owns a tactical store and works at a gun store. My brother wanted to buy a GX4 from him, our friend advised him not to. Said that it wasn’t reliable. Told him we’ve seen a bunch of great reviews on it. Brother really wants it and so do I. I guess we’re going to another store 😂

[@charlesstone4480]

100% agree on the P250. Sad that SIG dropped it. Modular double action hammer fired and the smooth, long pull. Mine is chambered in .357 SIG, but so easy to swap into .40 S&W. I mainly carry a Glock 22, because God forbid I ever have to use it, I assume it will disappear in some evidence room and I will never see it again. God Bless. Happy New Year!

[@zfixation9817]

I get liking hammer fired guns I really like them myself, but the new bodyguard is far superior to the old one, especially when you consider how often the old bodyguards would have issues with light primer strikes, and the additional capacity, literally double the mag capacity with the 12 round mags.

[@PileofBrass]

Primary carry for me is 3” 686 Plus or Glock 29. Deep conceal is my Sig P365.

[@Stab_Knifewind]

I agree with the safety of the double action pull but I'm dumb and carry striker with no safety. In the woods I too carry .40 caliber, but they call it 10mm auto.

[@mayberrygary25]

G43X, S&W BodyGuard 380 & S&W BodyGuard. 38Spl.

[@3Pillers]

What ammo do you carry in the bodyguard?

[@ronsmith7342]

Mostly Hellcat sometimes shield plus both in Sticky holster inside the pocket.

[@jaytay7989]

Does your Hellcat and Shield have external safeties? Love these two guns for conceal carry.

[@elkwtz]

I carry the 2.0 with no safety love the grip and the trigger plus 10 + magazine. I would like a small sa pistol but not able to find one except CSX that has the worst trigger.

[@zdiver1]

This past August I moved from Phoenix Arizona and would not leave the house without my Glock 43 or LCR 38spl and have not carried since moving to Nixa MO.

[@TylerGamer765]

Nice to get out of the urban jungle don’t it! I had to get out of the city too. Where I live I don’t have to carry but I do. Hell everyone here does 😂. But I still work back home. (I drive over an hour one way to get to work) and I won’t get out of the truck without my Ruger back home 😂. I just got my sister her own gun so I could get my nice ccw back and gave her the spare p series I have to keep i. Her bedside safe I got her

[@JerryRedd-bs8xi]

Why not Mo has Constitutional carry and I prefer permit which are not hard to obtain.

[@velvetjones1856]

I started 2024 carrying a S&W Shield+ in a DeSantis OWB holster. Later I added an H&K VP9SK-B once I found a suitable holster from Gunfighters INC. When it was released, I added a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 in a DeSantis pocket holster. None have manual safeties but all are striker fired. I choose guns by feel and trigger action.

[@mehogandhenry7132]

on the job carry a 32 seecamp, all other times Beretta px4 storm full-size

[@corydailey1486]

Firearms are a personal thing. If not, there would not be so many to choose from.😊

[@ianschroder]

Glock fans strongly disagree.

[@NigelDeForrest-Pearce-cv6ek]

Fascinating!!! I Agree that the P320 is a Menace!!!!

[@kevinmanning8214]

You said last December you were gonna carry the heck out of your new Sig P210 Standard, what happened??

[@Joe-ie8vk]

For me the most carried would be my little lcp max 75th. Super easy to conceal I pocket carried it all summer. It doesn’t have a manual safety but it has a trigger safety and it’s a pretty heavy pull and in a pocket holster it comes with I’m comfortable it’s not going off. I am the same way I prefer da/sa guns. I only own one striker fired pistol it’s a cz p10s and it lives in my get home bag and a spare mag I have it with me every day. So I guess it would be my second most carried though it’s not on my person. It’s a great pistol in just about all regards and it’s not a super expensive pistol so it it was lost or stolen it’s not the end of the world.

[@johnskalnik5571]

They still sell the old bodyguard at a few stores here in Al

[@jakejudson8578]

So double action is a longer pull than striker?

[@sissydreams7494]

Yes, the first shot will be heavy and long. All follow ups will typically be better than a striker- fired pistol. Some people prefer the consistency of the same experience on every shot with the striker fired guns and don’t like the double action to single action transition. I prefer DA/SA, myself.

[@maxskullic9879]

I'm still carrying a SCCY 9mm. Why, because it's what I was given. I don't have money for anything but trying to see a doctor that MIGHT help me. (and I'm broke now and still suffering) So far I had to sell all the guns I had bought just to pay bills. My cat's vet bill cost me my S&W 15-22 a few months ago... Guns, cars, anything a man would want, I have to give up. (and women gave up on me long ago)

[@billdobie5326]

I know a lot of people don’t like the SCCY. I have 2 of them and never had any issues with either of them. I carry one of them from time to time.

[@benchampion4086]

I have carried in the past my Sig250 in 9mm. And I really like that gun and don’t like the 320 for the same reasons as you.

[@stephenbeyer2711]

I absolutely agree with the double action trigger. Also like you with the P320 I just don't feel 100% safe with my 365 as it has the same FCU as the 320 only smaller. And since we are on the topic of Sig one of my absolute favorite carry guns is the Sig P290RS in both 380 and 9mm. It's very sad sig gave up on this platform and went to the 365. I would have loved to seen something like the 365s 10rd mag in the P290rs. And when it comes to racking the slide. It is the silkiest easiest slide I've ever slid back. The Springfield XDE in 9mm and 45 ACP is another discontinued firearm which was an awesome firearm that is DA/SA with decocker like Beretta 92 or 84. Being that it came in 45 they should bring it back in 10mm. Thought 45 super will work in the 45. Great video. I feel like these hammer fire DA at least on the first shot. Are the safest pistols to carry.

[@stevehopkins3710]

Any problem leaving the safety off not sure about that?more details

[@TheFortunateWaywardSon]

My carry guns are bodyguard380 and xds 45 depending on whereabouts

[@artcantulaw]

Great video

[@chrisboyd1408]

Those are two great, reliable American made firearms great choices

[@smilingscottsman]

Well, I think there's a lot to be said for the ammo you feed it too.

[@RandyWittmann]

Very Accurate. Sold mine after the firing pin broke. Took out of my pocket at the range and it broke on the first shot

[@joelcruz7620]

God bless you merry Christmas

[@davidrobbins5442]

Glock 23x with shield arms 15rd mag my go to this year

[@kennethrisner-c8q]

Having any gun is very important. There was a time when i carried a heritage roughrider 22 lr revolver because it's all I had at the time. That said I have nothing against a 380 as I know it's capable. The only knock I have with it is that is not as powerful as 9mm but 380 ammo costs more that 9mm ammo on the average. I carried a full size Taurus g3 this last year, and the year before. But recently i bought back a Taurus g2c i had sold to a friend and switch between it and the g3 now. The extra weight of the g3 isn't and issue for me. I just cannot justify carrying a less powerful gun but for more money, to me it just isn't economically sensible for me, but to each his own. On another hand if someone were to gift me a 380 I'm not about to turn down a free gun lol, and it would be pocket or ankle carried as a backup.

[@Shannon_Lacey]

Mark, what about the old S&W third generation dao pistols?

[@slash270]

Peace 🙏

[@benchampion4086]

I agree with you on the striker fired guns. I don’t like them.

[@barackmycat9448]

I love the Bodyguard. It`s on rotation with my Taurus 856 ultralite.

[@douglasroyce5631]

My two favorites .

[@RamonMarais-k2k]

Been carrying a 38 special snubby for years. Half the blueing is worn off. Have beenn thinking of upgrading to a small 9mm, more for capacity than anything else. Thing is though, I know this little revolver. When I get up in the morning it goes on my hip. Go to the toilet or take a shower it is within reach. At night it lives in its hidy hole. Often I forget it is on me, so used I am to it. It is good out to 25 yards for me at most, but sure there are people could get more out of it. Draw it, pull the trigger and it goes bang. Need a more precise shot and you cock back the hammer. So the only drawback is capacity, which I may one day need living out on a farm.

[@johnanderson2991]

I carried a j frame and still do sometimes. I started carrying a micro 10rd 9mm because it was easier and faster for me to take more precise shots on a hostage target, for example. I am not good enough to make good hits on a hostage target at 10yds with my j frame, but I am with a sig 365.

[@Postman1776]

Hated both of those guns, but to each his own
