Of the pistols I own, my #1 choice for SD would be Glock 20SF (10mm)
I can easily conceal a Glock 20SF AIWB wearing a hoodie/sweatshirt.
I can carry 20SF under a loose shirt with careful selection, some of my favorites wouldn't work.
2nd place to my Glock 20SF is Glock 23/32 and that is easily concealed under whatever shirt.
Glock 23/32 is not my "best" option but it is pretty good.
Using myself as an example, clothes are a factor in what handgun gets carried.
My point is that often "caliber war" is not about caliber, its really about clothes.
(I dislike the beaten cliche term "caliber war", try explaining it to someone not on a gun forum)
Often when people defend caliber or gun carried, they don't prefer the gun, they prefer the clothes.
But rarely to people just say, I'm not willing to (or can't) dress for whatever (bigger/better).
Cant and unwilling are not the same, I did use myself as an example of unwilling with the 20SF
A forum of mostly men use the disliked term "caliber war" because "clothes war" sounds...
