I have been reading THR for years now and am thankful for all who share their opinions and knowledge. This place is a great resource. Now I have a reason for posting. So for my first post I have a story which leads to a question.
STORY:
Wife says to get rid of all the pocket change I have been collecting for the last 5 years because its taking up too much room. So I gather it all up and take it to the local grocery store to feed the Coin Star machine. Amazing to me, and to the store clerk, I had accumulated a little over $340! (thanks honey for the suggestion!) So with this added little bit of fortune I want to go shopping
QUESTION:
I have one handgun, a S&W 9mm Sigma, which I have had for years and like it just fine (no bashing please ). So I am wanting to increase my handgun collection but am not sure which direction I should go. Currently the sigma plays the role of the bedside gun. I would like something a little smaller for concealed carry. I have narrowed it down to a couple of options and would like any feed back you guys are willing to offer.
Option A - .38/.357 snub nose revolver. But I have to stock a new caliber which is good if I for some reason 9mm becomes scarce (or scarcer depending on your viewpoint) Note - thought about a 9mm revolver but am split on the Taurus 905 series and cant wait for Charter to start producing theirs.
Option B - get a small pocket 9mm, thinking kel-tec maybe. Already have plenty of practice ammo.
Option C - "Trade up" to a M&Pc 9mm (or something similar) and use smaller magazines for CC and larger ones for HD use. But I don't think this will be small enough for what I am looking for.
So gun #2 would have to be smaller then what I have, because I see no need to have two guns filling the same role. And am wondering if caliber diversity is a pro or a con. Depending on current and future availability, simplicity of storage and cost.
Thanks for your input.
