I read and hear more people of late saying that they carry a gun that is not perhaps their most capable piece but a Less Expensive firearm instead...Of course, the argument here is why would one carry their higher-end HK, SIG, Ruger, S&W, Colt etc. as their primary CCW (even though they feel it would be a better choice "in a perfect world" when needed in a life or death situation) when there exists a possibility said gun could potentially be confiscated by LE for evidence while the shooting is being investigated.
Just curious as to whether or not this is perhaps more "mainstream" than I realize...?
Of course, one of the caveats here is the "subjective" nature of the word "expensive" but that is maybe a topic for another time...Me, I carry a Glock 26 (I do not consider it "expensive" relatively speaking) but do so solely due to its merits. I own more than a handful of handguns but not one >$1K--maybe my thought process might change if I felt the gun I was most competent with and provided the best chance for survival were say a $1200 HK45 but I honestly do not think so...
