I see an awful lot of second guessing when it comes to primary weapon, secondary weapon, and so on. I think I can boil the issue down to this:
True: bring a lot of guns and ammo to a gun fight. Bigger = better. Heck, bring a rifle to a handgun fight. whatever.
True: multiple large caliber handguns sure don't conceal very well and are bulky. Who wants to wear 2+ .45 handguns and 50 rounds of ammo to a restaurant, then a movie, then a gym/jog, finally a shower/hot tub?
True: a revolver doesn't jam the way a pistol can. Just move on to the next round in the wheel. saves time not clearing the single pistol chamber
Not so true anymore: pistols carry more ammo in one magazine and changes magazine faster than a revolver. This is very true for the high-cap, smaller caliber pistols relative to the 7-shot .38 or .375. But not true for the 7-shot .45 caliber pistols.
also True: sometimes suppression fire can save my ??? (read: forget accuracy, I just want the BG to duck)
My analogy is this: Protection is more than the thickness of my armor just like defense is more than the caliber of my gun (and ammo pack). But protection is a combination of the thickness and the time I spend in my armor just like defense is a combination of the caliber and the time I have my gun around.
So I'd like to expand on the wisdom that "having a mouse gun is better than none at all" and say that "the biggest caliber that I can shoot best in and carry all day with" and "the thickest armor that i can wear all day long"
