I do rotate my handguns,and I also shoot them at the range.
That’s all the reason a person needs.Another reason I rotate guns is because I can
I rotate my carry guns, because I like shooting them all. Some days I love shooting a revolver, some days a pocket gun, a Mico 9,

Pretty much... I like guns. I purchased a lot of them. I like to accually carry some of them depending on my mood, where I'm going, and what I'm doing on that particular day... YMMV. To make matters worse, I have night sights on many of my carry sized guns which also aids in me wanting to get my money's worth out of them before they expire.
It's a right that many do not have, and that we might not have in the future. Heck, in some states, they have to list a limited number of guns they intend on carrying on their carry license. We are one of the few if not only country on this planet that has the luxury of being able to carry whatever handgun they choose any time or day of the week. It's a slippery slope to make to the argument that one should only need to carry one particular gun 24/7, 365 to be safe and efficient. It's an argument that I'm sure antis will welcome with open arms.
Even though some might disagree with my choice, I'm personally am going to enjoy and put to good use the previlege of having this right to, for the most part, carry what I want when I want.
Not put night expensive night sights on a safe queen? Actually carry and shoot the guns I installed them on instead of letting them sit unused and slowly fade away...How does one "get my money's worth" out of Night Sights?
Could not agree more... The problem is many gun owners think their way and their preference is the be all and end all, so some of them take issue with others who have a different opinion than theirs... I personally don't care what model gun someone carries, what caliber, what size gun, what type of gun (semoauto or revolver), or how many different guns just as long as they are happy with their choice.I read forums for threads like this one. Like pants, shirts, and shoes - each person picks what they like & what works for them.
And then somebody else thinks those choices aren’t optimal. I’ve reached the age where that reaction make me laugh and laugh and laugh!
Same with gun choices others make. I’m proud of you if you carry a gun. Any gun. Or a different gun every day. Support the 2nd Amendment, & the 1st one too. If you carry a gun you’ve accepted that you are responsible for yourself. Good for you!
While I agree in principle with much of what you say, I do think this case is more a case where someone may not have previously been in too many potential use-of-force situations (I know many veteran cops who have trouble placing handcuffs on the most compliant drunk driver) that required split-second decisions) and let the adrenaline overcome her. Most agencies absolutely require all less lethal force options to be placed away, if not opposite, the firearm on the belt, so once again, I posit that regular training with everything one carries on a daily basis is the most important factor.We had a case here in which an experienced LEO drew her pistol when she intended to draw her Taser. She yelled "Taser, Taser", and fired the gun, wounding a fleeing shoplifter.
I agree.Going (changing) from a Glock 23/22/35 - all work exactly the same - wouldn't be problematic.
The 23 gets carried most, easily concealed under summer attire; I'd be content with it regardless of season.
What would be "imprudent" would be for me to not carry AT ALL if I'm in an environment where I have to disarm frequently, rather than switch from a full sized gun carried tucked IWB, to a pocket carried Smith 36 when necessary.I think it’s imprudent.

but carrying a 1911 in summer under shorts and a tee shirt is even sillier.
Guess it depends on which size 1911 he had in mind, but I agree.Why on Earth is that? The flat profile of the 1911 makes it very easy to conceal under a t-shirt, regardless of season.
At least for me.
Was thinking more of size and weight, carrying a 5 inch 1911 at 40oz isn't something I want to do when it's 90 outside.Why on Earth is that? The flat profile of the 1911 makes it very easy to conceal under a t-shirt, regardless of season.

I was thinking full size 5 inch 1911's, not the commander sizes with the alloy frames. Yeah, those wouldn't be too bad, but I'd still rather be carrying something lighter in summer.Guess it depends on which size 1911 he had in mind, but I agree.
