Too much passive voice in the narrative.

You folks hold on second or three while I fumble with this speed-loader.

A pair just as good as most.

Far more important to have a fire arm that works then the style or caliber.

Even though I live near a small, conservative town and rarely travel I changed my carry weapon and my truck gun in 2020 in response to Antifa and BLM.

Prior to the change I carried a Glock 36 45ACP with extended mags (8+1). My Truck gun (holster behind the console) was a Ruger Security Six .357.

I now carry an FN FiveseveN (20+1) with 2 spare mags. My Truck gun is a KelTec PMR 30 30+1 and one extra mag. I can fire 52 rounds without changing a magazine and carry 120 total, except on the Harley where it's just the FN.

True dat. I'm back to concealed carry now. However, during Mask Nazism I openly carried. That shutdown the confrontations.

Triton ammo and Nyclads? He must have stacked it deep 20 years ago.

I’d suggest a G18 mag for your vehicle as spare ammo for the G17. Gives you up to 33 additional rounds in an easy to stow and deploy package.

Everybody has an opinion about open or concealed carry. I am not opposed to open carry, I do so on certain occasions. When I do, I also carry a concealed firearm as a back up. I see open carry as a statement, makes me a target, and I want that back up if for some reason I am disarmed. For my concealed carry, being 5‘8“, I find that with normal clothes it is difficult to conceal A full-size my room is so many people talk about doing. I don’t want to wear baggy clothes, look fatter than I am. I find the Sig P365 easy to conceal with most attire. I normally use extended magazine, so I have 12+1. When size is a serious issue, I have a Ruger LCP II. And when size is not an issue, I have an HKVP9 or VP40. When I go to California my car carr, is a Smith and Wesson J-frame 357. At the end of the day, everyone has their own choices, these are mine, I don’t criticize people for their’s.

“… Crimson Trace grips…”

I finally broke down and admitted to myself that I could no longer see the sights and the target without doing the pecking chicken movements to get my bifocals to work. I got a CrimsonTrace trigger guard sight, sighted it in with a chamber laser for 30 feet, bought a custom holster that fits the pistol with the new appliance, and have been very happily carrying ever since. All I have to remember is that the closer the target, the slightly higher the hit will be, about 1.5” up at 3 feet.
