It’s a bit difficult to make good hits when your surprised, the target and you are both moving, the bad guy is shooting back at you, and you are having an adrenaline dump 😬. Something that can’t be duplicated on the range 😉.

The way I look at it by the data I had seen good shot placement in a gun fight is something to strive for but doesn’t happen often other than the range. A consideration for me when choosing calibers and capacity. Secondly, stopping power to me just means stopping the attack on me.

The key words in my post are “something I don’t do”. But while driving it is attached to my dash for quick access.

Even the best spray has a time lag once used till the full effect kicks in.

You may be disappointed if you use it on a tuff pit bull 😬. You will get a bad bite before the spray takes effect on most tuff dogs.

Sometimes people walk off with a couple of rounds in them also 🤔, but the odds are in your favor. I got hit with blow back spraying old Fox Labs spray and that made me a believer. The real risk in my opinion is gas pressure loss from leaving it in a hot car, something I don’t do. As far as cold...

I have always used FOX spray, they make it locally.

One thing I do every four years is spend 150-200.00 on pepper spray from the small key chain size to the large canister size for home and sometimes cars when protesters ma be a foot. I believe in a less than lethal option available, especially when carrying a firearm. I think many confrontations...

I have been using Vedder Light Tuck for years now including my shield and the work great for any carry gun. They are thin yet strong and have good adjustments. The bels clip is secure and I have never had one come loose on the draw. It can be adjusted for both angle and depth. The holster also...

ASI have gotten older I have had many joint issues with my spine and hands, I have had to start using a cane a few years ago. The one I had was a drugstore aluminum can that is adjustable. I too have come to the conclusion a cane will be part of my life, especially when my sciatic starts kicking...

Your lucky you are not communicating with sign language 😳.

One of my carry guns is a S&W Shield loaded with 147grn HST standard pressure. I use it for performance, but I thought being subsonic would be an added benefit if shooting without protection in a self defense situation. One day in a rare incident, I was outside in my front yard, two pit bulls...

I guess a lot may depend on the ammo choice but my 43X is plenty tame with 147grn HSTs.

One of my favorite carry guns, looks ugly but the grip feels the best. The downside, over time the grip sleeve splits. If I ever see a G26X in a store I will buy it 😉.

I always thought gun rotation was as you described, carry the best gun for the conditions and threat 😉.

I agree, renting or borrowing a gun to shoot before you buy is the best way to go if you know how to shoot. I have had guns that felt great at the gun counter only to feel poorly at the range.

I can tell you after carrying at a heavy weight for years, mostly IWB appendix, although not comfortable it was always doable. Now after loosing 40# over a couple of years carrying is so much easier. The downside is modifying my Wilderness belts to a smaller size. That said, any bit of weight...
