Okay, these may not be the best terms, but here's how I'm defining them for this post.
A specialist chooses his / her firearm for the activity they'll participate in. For example, if camping maybe the 1911 stays home and the GP100 goes; formal occasions the J frame replaces the Glock 22. The 870 in a certain configuration is ideal for home defense, but an over / under is used to take birds out of the air. Rifles, too, depend on the game.
A generalist carries the same firearm for any activity they'll participate in (if appropriate). If camping, the 1911 goes. If it's a formal event, the 1911 goes. If duck hunting, the same 870 that is used for pheasant or dove is now aimed toward ducks. The 30-06 is really the only rifle for game hunting.
I'm sure you get the idea.
Based on these definitions, I'm a specialist. I change my CCW depending on what I'll be doing and the season. I used camping as an example since I change handguns for that as well. Fowl hunting, I use different shotguns depending on what I'm hunting.
I look forward to your replies - I think this may be interesting.
Take care,
