with apologies to Folgers, the Best part of waking up is choosing today's weapon.
Yeah, surely you'd say that to someone like Mas Ayoob, who seems to indicate that he changes his carry gun as often as he changes his underwear and socks. As for the tired old saw about the man with one gun ... the only men I know who own only one gun never go to the range and they keep the gun in a nightstand drawer gathering dust ...I think a carry rotation is foolish, but to each his/her own. G48 for everyday carry and LCP for pocket for me.

I'm curious what people's opinions are on this subject, especially if you have strong reasoning for your point of view.
Any one who owns a shot timer KNOWS the truth, the rest are just kidding their self.Wise man once said:
“Fear the man with one gun, for he probably knows how to use it.”
When seconds count muscle memory, routine and confidence in ones equipment matters.

That is good, I wish EVERYONE did that.Yeah, surely you'd say that to someone like Mas Ayoob, who seems to indicate that he changes his carry gun as often as he changes his underwear and socks.

I'm looking for a smaller pistol for alternate carry for some dress considerations. Something like my wife's PPK/S, for example. There's a level of practicality involved in this which, in some circumstances, would make such a pistol preferable over my normal carry.
In the end...it's the individual's choice. I choose practicality. Someone else might have other reasons.
When people talk about a carry “rotation”, I don’t think anyone really means “rotation” in the planned, cyclical sense....Monday gun, Tuesday gun, April gun...etc... I think they are actually meaning carry “option” or even “menu”. My carry gun is a Walther PPS, but I’m known to carry something else for a while. It’s usually after a particularly good range day.... “I shoot this really well....I should try carrying it” and then reality sets in that my PPS is easier to carry and I shoot it very well.
I think too many people interject their ideas of what is right or wrong when it is really none of their business. If a person is proficient in the weapons they carry, why should it even be a discussion by others?
