“you’re giving shi**y advice and I have a right to say so.”

Legal right? I suppose so. Moral right? Probably not.

But much of what you wrote is simply wrong. Lots of folks can shoot a revolver fine. The 38 IS a proven round. And if you carry defensively (CCW), versus offensively (cops and soldiers), then A) You will probably never need ANY gun, and B) If you DO need a gun, it should be one you enjoy enough to practice with. And C) The gun cannot shield you. It can only raise the cost of attacking you to your attackers.

And with CCW, in many locales, it needs to be a gun you can CONCEAL. I didn’t buy my Beretta Pico for its enormous firepower.

And who knows? Your 10mm Glock MIGHT be big enough to hide behind. Me? I don’t feel at all under-gunned with a J-frame on my hip and the Pico in a pocket. YMMV, and you are certainly welcome to carry anything you can carry legally that meets your purpose. FWIW, I haven’t met anyone in southern Arizona who agrees with your sterling, gold standard advice. But if you can conceal it and shoot well with it - enjoy. Your advice isn’t “wrong”. It just isn’t universal.
