Why would someone have several carry guns and then rotate carrying them. woudn't it be better to always carry the same gun so the mechanics of firing remain the same?
I think that many have several pistols "in rotation" for the purpose of having different form-factor pieces to match different situations like weather- or clothing-related changes. Some just like to have several different pistol in their carry rotation. Some do it for a combination of those two (or more) reasons.Why would someone have several carry guns and then rotate carrying them.
I think that that would certainly be true for those who are preparing/training for situations where they need to suddenly deploy their carry gun.woudn't it be better to always carry the same gun so the mechanics of firing remain the same?
Because they are free to do as they choose.Why would someone have several carry guns and then rotate carrying them.
Ummmm, what if your rotation consists of three different J frame revolvers?I've wondered that, too... How people sometimes switch from one platform to another and think nothing of it.
That's not for me! If SHTF, I'm counting on luck and muscle memory to get me through. I want my head to be focused on the situation at hand, and not a single instant spent on recalling what I'm carrying that day.
Okay, I should've said something like....different styles of platform, or different mode of arms.Ummmm, what if your rotation consists of three different J frame revolvers?
I can certainly see how a 29 might be a little tricky to hide. I keep trying to figure out how I can carry a 6" 19, but no luck yet. Maybe if I wore a trench coat...I am very proficient with all the guns in my rotation. Fortunately I have not had to test the theory of carrying only one gun. I carry different guns based on situation and clothing. Being in Florida, the summer temps prohibit wearing enough clothing to properly conceal a full size pistol. Sometimes I spend a lot of time in the middle of nowhere, then I want something different. I've been practicing this type of carry for 30 plus years. I rotate between :
NNA 22 mag mini revolver
Colt Combat Commander 45
Colt Delta Elite 10mm
S&W 4" mod 29 44mag
My truck gun is usually a
Springfield Armory XD40
I knew what you meant, I was being a bit of a wise guy but jokingly. I was serious about the three J frames I rotate as my carry though. (I'm not sure that's proper English lol)Okay, I should've said something like....different styles of platform, or different mode of arms.
I wouldnt want to rotate between a beretta 92, and a BHP because your hands must move differently to make them ready.
