My question is two fold. First, what types of pistols do you switch between and how often? And secondly, why do you switch them up?
I understand that at times your regular carry gun maybe inappropriate for a certain situation, i.e. you wouldn’t go jogging with your 4” 1911 when you have an Airlite .38 just like you wouldn’t take your Glock 17 into the woods when you have a 4” .357 to stop bears (ok, maybe a bit much, but just trying to make a point). But I hear of a lot of people, including some friends, that switch carry guns every other day. I just think it complicates the SD process, when you’re under stress and trying to remember if you chambered a round in your Glock before you left the house, or if you pulled the hammer back on your 1911... Not to mention the difficulty in maintaining proficiency in multiple guns.
So I guess I just wanted to hear what my fellow citizens thought about the matter.
