Y'all got me to load up the G22 and throw that into the go-to lockbock in my shop. There's snow on the ground, and 15 rounds of .40 HST with a 22 round reload gives me warm fuzzies. Goalie is that the 180 gr hst Federal white box stuff? How do you like it?. Mb

I liked the “competence” discussion. Unconscious incompetence was really dangerous in a jet. Not knowing how incompetent you are in gun handling or in an aircraft is the toughest thing to get past. Perfect parallel. Lots of good discussion and things to think about out of this thread.
As it starts to get colder I’ll have better concealment with a jacket so I’ll be switching from my Sig 938 to my 45 Officer 1911. Same manual at arms, just a bit bigger and heavier.
Do you carry with the semiwadcutter 45 loads?

Mackay and others who have multiple EDC pistols. I understand that you might have a different gun for hot weather and cold weather applications. But from a tactical standpoint, thinking muscle memory here, would the best approach be to have as few platforms as possible and for those platforms to be similar? Say a Glock 19 and a Glock 48. Grip angle the same, controls in the same place, sight picture the same etc.
When I was on active duty in the Coast Guard we were carrying Beretta 92s. I started working part time as a reserve deputy for Harrison County. I went with a stainless 92 so that there was no relearning, retraining etc and muscle memory was identical. Seems like there would be similar value in being as standardized as possible with EDC.
Just thinking out loud. For me similar is better. I figured this out after shooting a 1911 for a few years on my own time and then I shot in a unit ran 3 gun match with issue guns and the first shot from the holster with the M9 I swiped the safety down like it was a 1911. It cost me a couple of seconds. I gave the 1911 to my dad and bought myself a 92FS. Later in my career we started getting Glocks so I picked one of those up for personal use. I didn't like the Glock so I sold it and stuck with the M9 at work and the 92 for personal use.

Just thinking out loud. Get a full size gun that you carry and shoot all the time. Take all the compact/subcompact schit and throw it in the trash.

Do you carry with the semiwadcutter 45 loads? No, I usually don't though I have a bunch on hand from many years back, and am still shooting them. Plus I made run of them a while back. My standard carry .45 load is a +P 250 grain Hard Cast Flat Point. It runs 925 FPS from a 5" gun. That is right where the original .45 Colt revolver loads were at that did such a good number on both man and beast for so long. This simply does it is a much easier to shoot, and higher capacity platform. Penetrates like crazy too. If I recall right, when JWP475 shot it into gel blocks it went over 3 feet of blocks. I have [punched it clean through some freshy killed cattle skulls and never been able to catch one yet It is a load I sell a lot of, especially to people hiking and hunting in large predator country It is without question the load I carry most in Grizzly and Black bear country. People tend to automatically gravitate towards a 10mm, as they are not aware that there are high performance .45 ACP loads out there. I like the 10mm myself, but having cut my teeth on the .45, I have a tendency to shoot it more.

Is this too much ++p++ for the ACP case or ACP frames? Considered a used G21 a while back just to see.

OK thanks February before last I scored 21 boxes of it for $270 figured it was a steal. Normally just shoot lead or fmj loads of 180 grns...mb

Mackay,
Why is your slide blue? The Colt was my old duty gun and competition gun from the 90s before I went to Glocks. I had it rebuilt and blued before I semi retired it. Have only owned one stainless 1911, a Colt Officer's ACP bought in 1991. A few have mistaken this early Kimber for a stainless gun, but it just doesn't have much for finish left. It saw a very heavy round count at one point in time. The cutting on the breach face tells the story:

It fits my hand decent. I usually buy XXL gloves. My hands are not necessarily wide but I have long fingers. It also seems to fit very nicely in the IWB holster I have for a Glock 19. I got a screaming deal on it from a family friend with 5 mags and a leather mag holder. I and my Wife both carry Sig P365 X pistols most days but I frequently carry the Glock 30s as well. When the Walther PDP came out I got one in 4.5 and 4 inch models. Very ergonomic and while I don't have thousands of rounds thru each one. So far they have been 100% and the trigger is amazing. I hope everyone stays safe and be vigilant. Things look like they are spiraling downward in this Country as well as the rest of the world.

Mackay,
Why is your slide blue? Because, it’s so close to the thumb safety, slide lock & magazine release, and they keep getting depressed...
