Let me ask my question a different way why do you need to rotate through that many guns? What does it accomplish?

These are all guns that I have invested time and effort in carrying, training with, and taking classes with during my 25+ year CW career. Each has been the primary EDC weapon for a portion of that time. This is a SA-centric forum, and I shared the post to chronicle my SA EDC journey. If your question is, "Am I actively rotating between all these?" No. Presently, I carry the XDE when dressed for the office (Suit and tie or scrubs) and the XDM Elite OSP for more casual attire, but I continue to train with all (XDE + one of the others one week and XDM OSP + one the next)—going to the range and dry-firing at home mostly. The Mantis Laser system offers some great dry-fire drills that I enjoy and find challenging.
Additionally, I make an effort to attend a professional-led class 3-4 times a year. I do not believe in "mothballing" any weapon I have invested time and effort to gain proficiency with. Hope that answers your question.
 
LRjr, if that's what lifts your skirt, I'm all for it. (y) For me, I'm the same gun, same holster, same location, 90% of the time. For that 10% of I'm too lazy, going into a restrictive environment, just don't care today, I have a NAA mini mag that I can drop in my pocket. Thats the extent of my rotation. Now pipes on the other hand............:rolleyes:
 
I never really understood the concept of a gun rotation. Does that mean that you have some kind of schedule on which you change your EDC? If so, why?

I have a primary carry gun which works for most of my needs, most of the time. I also have other guns I can switch to depending on such things as where I'm going, what I'm doing, threat level, clothing and even the weather. This could be anywhere from a tiny .25acp up to a .45 Colt. I usually carry the primary but, If circumstances change, I can adapt.

The OP does have some nice guns, I'll give him credit for that. However, I notice that the OP's guns are all close to the same size, same caliber and set up alike. So, what's the point?
 
I only carry one gun under any/all circumstances. Always carry same location (on my body). Never change. Thinking about shoulder holsters, but I probably won't because they cost so much, it takes 5 or more to find one that I like, and I might be too lazy to change what I've been doing for years.
 
I think I understand what LRjr is saying. He has several carry guns that he has accumulated over the years as he has refined his EDC, but unlike some folks, he tries to stay proficient with all of them. Personally, I also like the XDE, and think SA should have kept that one in their lineup. I don’t see a problem with LRjr’s approach to EDC, and if we are honest, most of us have changed our primary weapon over the years. As a good friend of mine (RIP) used to say, “Every tub has to sit on its own bottom.”
