You see, this is why there are thousands of different kinds of guns. Everyone can pick and choose what suits them best. Kinda the same as cars.
There is definitely a point of diminishing returns.I hate it when people think a gun has to be less than 10 ounces and fit in the palm of thier hand to be considered for carry/ pd use.
To the OP, what gun do you carry on a daily basis and how does it work out for you? What style of dress do you most often wear when you carry? What kind of activities are you doing?
Different people seem to find that different choices work out better for particular needs. Since the first rule seems to be "have a gun", if someone finds they carry more often and conveniently with a lighter gun, I find it hard to begrudge their choice.
I think ultralight subcompacts definetly have a place in CCW, but they are certainly not the be-all-end-all. I find my Glock 19 in an IWB holster just fine for most occasions, and if I am wearing heavy clothing that can conceal it I'll even wear my Glock 21 in a OWB holster.Way overly obsessed. I hate it when people think a gun has to be less than 10 ounces and fit in the palm of thier hand to be considered for carry/ pd use.
amen old and beat up tooI prefer light, up to a point, but I'm old and beat up.
This is unrelated to handguns, but a guy critiqued this practice of permanent alteration about two weeks ago at "Surplusrifle", and a moderator jumped all over him using gigantic letters to call him a "JACKWAD".
All I said was that "Some of you guys need a good night's sleep", to avoid any clear, direct critique of that moderator (a retired Navy guy).
He then blocked me from even accessing the thread (maybe he felt ashamed?), and I was very disappointed by the moderator's rude behavior, which was totally uncalled for. I've never seen any moderator react in such a manner.
People have been concealing guns of moderate weight for hundreds of years before polymer came along and now its considered to impractical to be considered.
