so I live a low risk life, work in a small town, live on the farm...
I normally carry a compact revolver ( just bought an LCR-X in 38 Special +P ) that I was going to try to work into the carry rotation... my current daily carry is a TCP, & I love it...
but with the political ( ISIS or ??? ) promoting internal terrorism, & the big Waco biker shoot out in a restarant... & civil unrest for what ever reason
has me wondering if something full sized ( reads really more "shootable" ) might be something to think about???
I'm not stupid, ( they show the "family" caught in the middle of the Waco shooting... I keep wondering, why dad had his 2-3 year old kid at bike night at what is basically a Hooters ) I'm not likely to have been there in the 1st place, let alone with my small kids... but with one or two shooters in a terrorist situation, a medium / full sized revolver or duty sized auto, while a lot more inconvient to carry, might be really nice to have, if you were in a situation where you felt the need to shoot back, rather than run or hide...
curious if any of you compact gun carriers have also been thinking along those lines???
I have a 396 ( air weight L frame 5 shot 44 special ) that I probasbly would shoot better than the LCR... the gun is worth a lot of money, but I'm wondering if it might be the best alternative for light weight, stopping powder & shootability???
