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

    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.

    What matches the belt and boots the best? Accessorize with some extra mag pouches. Style Mang, Style!

    Just picked up a 329PD for that reason. Guess I couldn't agree more.

    That'd be my choice...revolver in no less than .357 mag...usually .45LC though.

    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.
