I feel like a girl (or why you need more than one gun)

[JohnTRourke]

So, sitting here packing for tomorrow's hunt (pronghorn, wyoming) and thinking there are sooooooooooooo many choices.

open carry or concealed carry?

revolver or pistol?

if revolver, .38spl or .45ACP?

if pistol
.380 (yeah, ok, not for open carry), 9mil, .45acp?

and then which platform?
1911, glock? others?

and if 1911, then full size or commander? officer frame or full frame?

SOOOOOO many choices.

It's like going to the chinese restaurant with 300 menu items, you just get overwhelmed and choose sesame chicken, like always.


I think I have decided on open carry though, it's just easier when you're fat.

Hanging out in the woods...open carry, full size 1911. Accept no substitute.

+1
(Since I didn't see a .44 Mag on the list.)

[grrr]

I can see the appeal of going with a commander or officer commander, though. A tiny bit less weight & almost the same stopping power. Of course, I have dainty hands, so they're a little more my size, too.

All Glocks, all 9mm..... except for perhaps a Glock in 10mm

Pretty hard to beat this.

I've never hung out in the woods when I was antelope hunting. With that being said, I think you should carry whichever holster matches your shoes. With the approriate gun in said holster.

dont forget about the belt too

Definitely no woods in Wyoming. I've never felt the need for a sidearm when hunting speed-goats on the open plains. The primary rifle and a good knife are all you really need.

Note- I do realize any opportunity to open carry can hardly be passed up. So if you must carry, then definitely do it with some style and make sure the holster matches the shoes.
