What we shoot, what we actually carry, and what gun do we talk about...
All three:
P226 Legion RX

...partly because at the last Practical Fundamentals, Jones called the P226, "the finest combat handgun ever designed".

and defend...

Years ago, I had an email exchange with American Handgunner editor Roy Huntington. Super good guy. I asked him why Handgunner ran a 5 page article on LAPD SIS going to Kimber 1911s, but later didn't devote hardly a page to LAPD SIS dumping the Kimbers in favor of the Glock 30S. He admitted that Glocks weren't as interesting because 1911s were more customizable and visually appealing.

Later, American Handgunner ran an article about what pistols the Handgunner staff carried. I was shocked by how many of them carried Glocks. Almost all of them.

American Handgunner's message was pretty simple: We talk about 1911s and revolvers, but we carry Glocks. I completely understand.

Guns I talk about: Hammer-fired Sig P-Series & Berettas.
Guns I shoot: Same as above.
Guns I carry: Glock 19; Glock 26; Glock 43X; M&P Shield .45; SA Hellcat.

Lesson? Pounds equal pain when it comes to carrying.



I had read somewhere, may have been in American Handgunner, that the reason so many gun magazines had 1911's on the covers was because the number of magazines sold was steady, and was always lower when they had a rifle or plastic pistol on the cover,



meanwhile, as someone in the biz, I talk about handguns of all types every day,

I shoot Sig's and 1911's about evenly

I carry a J frame, or a Seecamp LWS-32
