What do people carry?

[Adam Helmer]

RUMLUVER,

Excellent thread! I have carried a M65 3-inch .357 Smith, loaded right, on many occasions as a federal lawman. I have also carried a M1911A1 Colt .45 auto with 8 rounds therein "Locked and Cocked."

Now that I am retired and covered under recent Federal Ligislation, I like to put the .45 Auto in my waistband and go about my business on my federal credential. I do like the M65 I built at S&W and like the Colt .45 auto as it is a fine sap once the magazine runs dry. Revolvers have their place and there is nothing wrong with a good DA .357 revolver.

Bottom line: Carry what feels right and that you can shoot and hit what you are aiming at. As Bill Jordan said in his fine book, "No Second Place Winners" the "also ran" get planted.
