There are pros and cons to both methods of carry. I think the tactical situation should dictate the method of carry, not the legal situation but it is what it is. I typically carry a concealed Glock 29 or 20 these days. I really like 10mm automatic in a Glock. A hot 10mm is in solid .41 magnum territory and you get 11-15 rounds to fight with. Recoil is quite manageable. Accuracy is excellent. terminal performance is...well...they use 10mm for polar bear defense in Denmark.
I agree. Lots of ways to look at it.
The remarkable thing about it is the historical aspect. In the old west, the gunfights were fought with single action revolvers, some double after, and the hit rate was pretty good amongst those who were good at it.
I read that Bat Masterson was one of the best.
