More rounds vs higher caliber?

[Jgibs0321]

Only hits count, and you can't miss fast enough to be effective/score well.

Carry the one you shoot better. If you shoot both equally well, carry the one you like better. Bonus points if you think it's pretty.

Or you could be like me, do it "wrong" and switch carry guns on the reg. I'm the guy who carries a striker fired one day and a single action only with thumb safety the next. And I'm not morally opposed to carrying a DA/SA hammer gun either. Depends on the situation/how important (or not) absolute concealment is/what I feel like that day.

Just make sure you're carrying something, and you'll be fine.

Thats okay. Some people are actually skilled enough to shoot any handgun even under stress. If I had more money, Id be rotating between a Glock 47, Glock 19, and a 2011!

More rounds is the key. Aiming and marksmanship...pffft! Silliness. It's been said over and over here to just point and shoot and blast away in the general direction of the threat. Just like nerds at a frat party, you'll hit it someday. Blind Squirrel Technique

I’ll just say I’m a big fan of Sgt Alvin York.

I'd rather have a .357 wheel gun 6" barrel with nothing but air between me and said target.....

Nope take cover, maybe more than one. Do not spray and pray, try to make every shot count.

I struggle with wanting more rounds vs bigger caliber, and how easy to carry a gun is. main thing is carrying a gun you are accurate with. I would prefer something the size of a commander length 1911 in 10mm would be about perfect for me.

I knew I was doing it correctly

Clint Smith always said, that a weapon should be comforting before it's comfortable.

Since basically every handgun round wounds primarily through ice-picking holes in the target, I want whatever round lets me put the most holes in the target the easiest. assuming that the round has sufficient penetration.

If I believed some fuddlore about hydrostatic shock or “stopping powah” then I’d carry the biggest cartridge I could.
But I don’t, so I’m trying to figure out how to conceal carry a MAC-11 in .380.

I always find this discussion hilarious. Carry what you can carry comfortable and you can shoot well.

I think a .22 LR kills more people each year than most other calibers, but should be a round you think will stop someone.
