What would happen if you were caught carrying a gun not listed on your permit?
Agreed - I consigned the LC9 Saturday, and within an hour it was sold. It was the only handgun I own that I truly disliked.Neither the Airweight nor the LC9 are range toys, so if they're not on your CCW license, what's the point of having them at all?
The best choice of those listed would be G30 the worst 1911.I have expanded my inventory of handguns suitable for CCW over the last couple of years. I must list CCW guns on my permit, and am limited to three, so today's game is Pick Three....
Glock 30, 26, 36, 21
Ruger LC9
S&W 38 Airweight snubbie
Colt 1911 Govt stainless
I'm XXL-sized (6'3, 275) so a tiny gun is not needed for concealment. I'm leaning toward an all-Glock setup (30,26,36) for a single manual of arms. Am I missing something?
The only one I'd rule out (despite your attachment) is the 1911. Completely different manual of arms compared to the others, and in a high-stress situation, it's easy to confuse them and maybe forget to swipe off or engage the safety (despite training). It's sort of like if you own more than one car, and they're different models -- no matter how often you drive each, it's easy to forget which car you're driving and confuse the windshield wiper controls, headlight switch, etc.ArchAngelCD said:OK then, now you are down to owning:

Folks, he's in CA. He can't have mags that hold more than 10 rounds.ArchAngelCD said:You can also use the 13 round G21 mags in the 30 which is a plus.
I think I agree with ArchAngleCD. To my mind, if you can only carry three guns you want them to fill three roles. I would say; full-size service pistol, compact pistol, pocket pistol. The Glock 21 fills the first role, the Glock 36/30/26 fill the second and the J-Frame fills the third. Personally, I would probably rather have a small single-stack 9mm like the Kahr CM9 or the S&W M&P 9c but that's just personal choice and if you are limited to what you have, the S&W 38 should work fine.OK then, now you are down to owning:

My original suggestion of listing the Glock 21 and Glock 30 along with the S&W J frame holds.
