I think the J-frame in airweight format is probably the best all-around gun for the average civillian.”
Greg,
I was wondering if you still held this same opinion. If not, what changed your mind and what have you replaced the J with?
Thanks
Yes. I still carry the J-frame every day for the same reasons. I carry my Hk45c or even a Beretta 92 on occasion, but it is pretty rare. And my observations about others are the same (lots of folks with great guns, not as much carry). I have seen a huge number of folks buy mini-9s and then put RDS and other crap on them until they aren't carrying consistently because of the usual reasons. Again, if you can carry a full-size or similar consistently, why not (and be honest with yourself, are you really carrying as much as you can with theses guns--if the answer is yes then that is the answer)? But for me, the pocket revolver is the best solution.
In fact, my 2 carry j-frames are getting pretty tired from carry and practice. My laser grips are actually splitting at the seams. I am thinking about picking up a 340PD (with ramp front) to jazz up my carry and reduce the weight even further.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
