I read the linked thread in post 153 anticipating enlightenment and it seems to me it makes a flawed assumption - that the choice to carry the 642 dictates that is the house gun. The argument that multiple assailants are more likely in a home invasion may be true, but I have a steel 1911 and AR as house guns. If, as is argued in that thread, single attackers are more likely in a street crime scenario then the 642 choice is bolstered as a pocket carry. Why can't these types of debates be governed by logic rather than hyperbole?!
I also carry a reflex and frankly if there are two or more attackers things are going to get crowded. I'd much rather have a fast deploying 'get off me blade' in a ground attack then a pistol in my pocket. I've deployed a blade while in a full Nelson hold in training scenarios where I doubt I could deploy a pistol. It's actually insanely easy to stab someone in the kidney who is behind or on top of you. I don't think any of us could deploy a pistol and shoot a person from this predicament with high probability. It has to be much less than 30%. The higher probability on the ground is a blade. With two or more attackers in the street plan on going there, because you will.
