Guns for self defense part Two
When I'm in a T-shirt and blue jeans the S&W J 642 is in the pocket. If out to the park, fair or where ever a hip bag is not outta place a "fanny pac" with Kimber Ultra II is worn. Jacket weather there migh be anything underneath from the 642 to the Desert Eagle .44. Around home it is always a 1911 type, under pillow etc...
Bottom line is never leave home without it. I have always liked the 1911 the best.
I just had to chuckle... Sound like a woman, can't decide what to wear vs I have to decide what to carry...

Guns for self defense part Two
Gunsmith:
I think the gun selected for self defense has allot to do with the situation:
1. I like my Taurus .410/.45LC combination if you live in an apartment complex, in the city with close neighbors, or if your home has a corridor, etc. and children or guests in bedrooms on the main floor where a traditional pistol round would shoot through the walls. The .410 is a good round for close quarter contact and may or maynot be lethal. You definitely do not need to be that accurate with shot placement for those who do not practice as much as they should. I realize is only has five rounds, but usually you will be lucky to get one round off. Revolvers are allot less complex, again for those not as experienced as they should be.
2. I've never liked the 1911 but realize it is the most widely used weapon of choice. I have a Sig 229 chambered in .40S&W with Lasermax sight for certain night time situations.
3. Also have the S&W .38/.357Mag little guy with hammerless frame. I find that it requires lots of practice to shoot accurately to get the feel finding the double action breaking point.
4. Also have Rugers and Glocks with high capacity magazines in 9 mm for other situations as well as an UZI if you really needs lots of rounds.
5. For protection in the woods from bobcats and blackbears where more distant shooting may be required I opt for my .357mag in S&W with 8 3/8 barrel. This barrel length gives awesome accuracy at distances. I have an older Smith model 27-2 which is lightweight and the best shooter of all my pistols.
6. For protection in the woods from Brown bears/Grizz my Ruger Super Red-Hawk in .454 Casull with 7 1/2" barrel is the ticket. It also make a good deerhunting pistol in areas of lower Michigan where rifles aren't allowed.
My Taurus, Sig 229 and Ruger all fit in one shoulder holster. I have another bigger shoulder holster that accomodates the long barrel S&W and Ruger Super RedHawk. The little guy snubby Smith fits in a pocket or fanny pack.
My theory is, if you have a gun(s), shoot'em often, otherwise you are a danger to yourself and loved ones. You can never be too save when having a loaded gun. Always keep checking: Is it loaded or not!!! Always have several boxes of ammo close at hand.

Guns for self defense part Two
Yooperpete;
It sounds like we have a lot of the same guns.
My CQB instructor called guns like the .410 pistols and my little Beretta .32 Tomcat....Ear, Nose and Throat Guns. I don't think any expanation is necessary.
I would go through a training exercise and use up all of my ammo in my MP5, then my SIG 229 and then I would pull out the Beretta Tomcat. He would just laugh, but I would put my shots where it counted in the target.
I think that is called a Cooper reload, after the famous Colonel.
