Who carries the 10mm?

Do the bad guys worry about CCW permits?

Never been a bad guy.  I have been a good guy over 21 back in the dark days of shall issue.  And I didn't really worry about a permit. Back then I carried either a Glock 22 or a Delta Elite.

I've been treated like a bad guy my whole life. I'm a white, middle class, blue collar, conservative, gun toting, meat eating, tax paying, catholic male, who uses critical thinking, and who believes strong discapline, and involvement in your children's life is what makes productive members in society. I'm hated by millions in this country!

Hahaha!

IMHO of course.

I know it is often recommended (and probably with good reason) to always train with and carry the same gun, but I have a hard time following that one myself.  I have too many guns that I like to carry.  I will only carry a gun that I shoot well and have confidence in, but that still leaves a number of choices.  It depends somewhat on what I will be doing and more importantly what I'll be wearing for the day.  Today I'm carrying my S&W model 65 revolver.  Other than my model 610, the rest of my 10 mm guns get into the rotation pretty frequently.  I wear scrubs at work and the "holster" that works best with scrubs is a belly band.  I've carried full sized 1911, S&W 1076, and L frame revolvers in the belly band but they do tend to print on my scrub tops a bit more, so most days it will be a smaller, lighter, rounder-butted gun that gets packed at work...common ones in the rotation are the k-frame snubbies, HK P7 (love that gun), Commander bobtail, Sig 229, and Glock 29.  On days off when I can wear a proper belt and holster and baggy shirt, the bigger guns tend to come out more.

For your consideration:

My instructor says I may only have one shot in a self-defense situation, so it needs to be good. At hand gun practice, I see people missing the target entirely with the first shot of a session. That happens without the stress of a fight for life. 
   
When acquiring a grip on a gun, different holsters present the gun differently. Different guns have different places where I need to place the web of my hand. Different guns point at different angles when I instinctively point the gun after the draw. Different guns have different trigger pulls and resets.

Yeah HarryGunner...I'm aware of all that, which is why I admitted in my post that my practice of carrying different guns is often not recommended.  I do practice and feel confident with any gun I carry for what its worth.  Despite what is "recommended", I suspect that most guys carry different guns/rigs under different circumstances.

This consistency thing is one of the drivers behind my P12/10mm project.  I need a smaller gun for certain situations than my full size double stack 1911.  The P12 fits the bill, but all the controls, grip angle, manual of arms are the same.  Even the relevant parts of obtaining proper grip and draw stroke will be the same.  And both can use the same back up magazines.

Anxious to get it done.  I expect it will rapidly become a mainstay in the holster.

It is also why a Glock 20/29 makes a good combination.

I'd love something like the SA EMP in 10mm

Practice makes perfect.  It is pretty amazing how comfortable you get with something you practice with compared to not.  I know that simply sounds sooooooooo obvious, and it is.  I guess it's just simply amazing to me how sometimes it's kind of like you ended up being better with something you put the time in with than you would have even guessed from the start.  It's always a good feeling when something comes together like that.

This is exactly why I want a G29. I practice with all of my guns, but I have to practice harder and more often with the j-frame. If I don't shoot the G20 for a few weeks, my shooting is still great. If I don't shoot the J-frame, it's an abortion. The trigger on a J-frame is something you need to practice often. Definately an "experts gun", but with practice, anyone can master the snubbie!

My G29sf is what I have on me 90% of the time, loaded with Underwood 180 grain Gold Dots,  but occasoinally I will carry a Kimber Ultra Raptor with 200 grain Gold Dots.  I think either one will stop a fight in short order, but like the extra capacity of the Glock (11 vs 8  ).
