Revolver, for now. Will resume some auto, in the near future, but trigger/safety system TBD.
Boring details: An aging right hand, that I no longer fully trust to be a stable platform for reliable auto-loading function, with all auto-pistols, and, then, the Panic-Demic, which reduced my access to the frequent live-fire training that I need, to maintain proficiency with autos, and to maintain verification that my right hand is still fit for the task, has resulted my defaulting to revolvers for daily use. My least-perishable triggering skill is long-stroke DA, due to the hard-wiring established when I had to carry DA revolvers for LEO-ing purposes. So, I only selected the one choice, for Revolvers, for now, but I am not out of the autoloader game, having recently added compact .45 Glocks, and some slim-line S&W Third-Generation autos, the latter due to nostalgia for the Models 3913 and 3953, that I really liked, in Nineties. I may well be working a compact Glock, and/or S&W DA/SA, back into my carry equation, in the coming months. (Notice that I did not say “rotation.”
)
I only recently discovered that the Short Frame Glocks fit my my left hand, most very well, and then handled a 4th-Gen G30, to find a similar result. I bought both the G30s Short Frame, and the Gen4 G30. I will mostly shoot these lefty, as “compact” 9mm G26 and G17 Glocks became to much for my gimpy right thumb/hand/wrist by late 2017. (I do still shoot 9mm Glocks with “orthopedic” full-length grips, right-handed. The key seems to be that the back strap needs to extend all the way to the “heel bone” of my right hand. A G17/G19x/G45 reaches far enough, as does a factory Ruger SP101 grip. A G19 does not reach far enough.)
I was fortunate to have been born left-handed, but right-armed. I write lefty, but throw righty. I chose to carry “primary” on my right side, in 1983. LEO-ing, from 1984 to 2018, strongly conditioned me to reach for the right side, for a handgun, but I have long regarded shooting handguns to be an ambidextrous activity, and have tended to position a second gun for lefty access. Well, now, in my 60th year, it still makes plenty of sense to keep a revolver handy, for the right hand, but work an auto into an increasing important role, for lefty carry. It is no longer a matter of “primary and secondary,” but simply accessibility options, based upon my hands’ changing capabilities.
