New idea for some threads. Rather than one mega thread where we can argue fruitlessly about carry options, lets have a series of threads titled "Why I carry [gun]".
Rules:
If you carry that gun, add onto the thread about that gun.
If no thread exists for the gun you carry, start one.
For 1911 guys, lets keep it meaningful but generic, eg, not a thread for every different variant of 5" 1911.
Positive comments. If you don't have a positive contribution, don't contribute.
Questions are fine, as long as they are neutral to positive.
If you carry more than one gun type regularly, comment on all the relevant threads about what drives your choice.
All calibers apply, not just 10mm
I am gonna post a thread right after this one for "Why I carry a Glock 20"
If you carry a G20 too, add your reasons to my thread. If you carry something else, find or start that thread and give us your reasons!
