That is probably the better tactic.

Playing advocatus diaboli for a moment, that's all hardware. Different equipment than "gun" but hardware nonetheless.Skiprr wrote:Gabe Suarez has commented that in his years as a trainer he's found most students to be "hardware-centric" rather than "software-centric." By that he means that we more often believe "gun" is more important than "fight."
Suarez is specifically commenting on training versus equipment, of course, but I'll posit that an extra mag or two, a knife, a good flashlight, a can of pepper spray on your keychain, even a BUG are all elements (not to ignore training) of "fight," not "gun." They're preparation for an "in the unlikely event of" incident.

I don't always carry the same amount of firepower with me everywhere I go. I usually carry 16 rounds, 8 in my .45 and 1 extra 8 round mag, and I usually have at least 2 extra mags of .45 in my truck.

Being the nice guy that I am, I would probably be going out with you to help you carry all of the big expensive presents that you would be buying for your understanding four gun Master level husband's birthday.CompVest wrote:You guys just crack me up!WildBill wrote:That is probably the better tactic.

74novaman - I bought a PT145 yesterday - haven't shot it yet due to lack of ammo. How do you like it? Have you had any problems with it.74novaman wrote:How many are you carrying daily? I have a PT145, 10+1
