No, it is not!
Lol, sorry Dude, could not disagree with you more and again, stick with what you can do and leave others out of this. Do not pretend to know all of them. You do not.
No, it is not!
If you insist that ones ability with one's individual firearms is the potential issue in carry rotation, you do not understand the issue at all. We have discussed that,and the underlying considerations.Lol, sorry Dude, could not disagree with you more...

Old Dog understands it well, but he personally believes, no doubt with good reason, that his particular firearm variety, his draw techniques, etc adequately mitigate any risks for him. I do not question that.
Many other members here understand the subject and have agreed with what I have said. Others do vary their carry pistols, within strictly defined limits.
I have no idea of how much training, and of what kind, you have had. I have no idea how changing carry guns willy nilly might slow or interrupt your immediate reaction to the sudden emergence of a critical incident. I do not question your skills at all,
What I find issue with is your apparent understanding of the subject, based on the way in which you have expressed your opinion.
Ruger SR40c (this has a safety but it's never engaged)
Except:
I have a problem with this. When I carried an SR (9c and 40c at different times) I had the safety disengage often enough in the holster that I would never trust the safety to stay off in the holster and would want to be properly trained to use the safety if needed automatically as part of my shooting grip.
I agree 100%. I know folks who switch between brands AND action types - from a J frame to a 1911 to a Glock, etc. So different, how can one become so proficient that when the need DOES arise, you remember how to draw and react?It may be just me, but the idea of a rotation of CC handguns is sketchy, if the ' rotation of these handguns includes those having different operating characteristics especially. Familiarity with that pistol is absolutely critical in a huge adrenaline dump situation, denying fine motor skills and perhaps momentarily removing the thought process from the threat to remember....oh this Sig has a thumb safety. I'm not promoting not having multiple pistols, just wondering how many folks can manage successfully several different types effectively on the worst day of your life.

Same here, substitute P-320 or P-365 for a Glock.But I can go to the range with a Glock, 1911, Sig DA/SA and run a FAST, Bill, Devil, etc from concealment almost identically, cold, on most days.
Yep!I find swapping between 9mm and .45 more detremental to consistent shooting between platforms.
There were a couple places that I used to have to go to to do checks on during shift that I would make a point of making a pit stop before I went
I don't either. Glock 42 if clothes says nothing bigger, Glock 48 the rest of the time.I don't have a carry rotation.
That said, my Glock 19 was supposed to be my primary carry gun but since most of 2020 has been spent in NPEs I have been carrying my Glock 26 almost exclusively.
I don't really understand 'carry rotation' of 3-4 very similar handguns..
Well, YEAH! (Refer to my username)I'm always on the lookout for fire hydrants.
Variety is the spice of life? Why is this so difficult to understand? If you like guns, know your guns, train with your guns, what is the problem with a carry rotation?I don't really understand 'carry rotation' of 3-4 very similar handguns..
We've got guys like Mas Ayoob (member here, who use to post every so often), a well-respected authority on use of deadly force AND handguns, a long-time trainer, and pretty darn good competition shooter, who changes his carry guns like he changes his socks. You gonna call him out on that?
No need to get your nighty in a knot. Not ‘calling out’ anybody on anything.Well, YEAH! (Refer to my username)

So here I have a "budget" Turkish handgun cutting the line and skipping carry rotation.
Has anyone else experienced this?
"Nighty in a knot?" Really? I simply provided my answer to your comment that you did not understand a concept. I have been speaking solely to my own practices and attempted to explain my point of view. I have not tried to tell people what they should or should not do; frankly so long as they are responsibly carrying their chosen firearm, I care not what they do.No need to get your nighty in a knot. Not ‘calling out’ anybody on anything.
I have a carry gun that works perfectly for me for any carry situation I can imagine. I have others that I shoot for fun(I shoot the carry gun for fun too)....so I don’t see the need, but if you want to have 7 lined up with days of the week on each....go ahead..
ya know what ‘YMMV’ means, right?
