All depends where one lives in the cooler areas of the country.
I carry full size handguns.
I gave up carrying small ones decades ago.
The smallest one I carry now is a Glock 23 most of the time a full size 1911 or my 6 inch model 24 Glock.
Yep Im in Little Rock...hot and humid 3 months of the year and LOTS of tangos in the AO. Jail at 115% and 25 felons released from one (1) of our 11 prisons each day. Little Rock, per captia, is always one of the most violent/deadly cities in the nation. I think we are number 2 or 3 now, beating out Chicago, Newark, and Detroit.....per captia. THats why a handgun is used—————> to fight your way to your shotgun or AR.
Don’t often hear of the G24. Got one several years ago but have yet to fire it. Love the G23 and looking for a G45 or maybe the 43X.
