Most of us have to make decisions where economics are a consideration. Here are the choices I and some of my acquaintances have made in the last 24 months.
Ruger LCP .380 $150
For when I can't carry.
Carry - American Gunner XTP
(Usually expands moderately or tumbles and penetrates 12-17". Ammo in a .380 is definitely about compromise)
Taurus G2C 9mm $170 (after $30 Rebate)
Lady's Pistol
Practice - Chubbies
Carry - Micro HST
Ruger EC9S $200
Summer Gun
Carry - Remington Golden Saber 147
S&W M&P Shield .45 (after $75 Rebate) $245
Spring and Fall Gun
Carry - Gold Dot 185
S&W M&P M2.0 .40 Compact (after $50 Rebate) $250
Winter Gun
Carry - Remington Ultimate Defense 180
S&W M&P Shield M2.0 .380 EZ (After $50 Rebate) $255
Young lady with health problems that precludes stiffer slides and heavy trigger.
On her Concealed Carry she put 50 out of 50 in the 10x or better. One lemon sized hole. The instructor joked about what happened to the other 49.
Carry - American Gunner XTP
Glock 42 .380 Tiffany Blue $400
If she hits better with a .380 and will carry it more if she likes the color, It's the correct choice.
Carry - American Gunner XTP
SP101 3" .38 Spl $400 (French Police Over Run).
Mom's gun.
Practice & Carry - Federal Gold Medal .38 Wadcutters (16" of penetration and doesn't aggravate her arthritis).
Some of the gun and ammo choices where driven by recoil, accuracy and terminal performance but money was definitely a consideration.
Tell me about the choices you have made lately...
