Re: What’s with the gun community

Over the weekend I ended up in a discussion on a FB small biz page discussing handmade holsters a lady wants to start making and selling. One of the people in the discussion was a lady who is an instructor who said that she recommends that women carry revolvers because the are simpler to operate...I kept it polite but I let her know that her thinking needed to change....quickly. Several other people, men and women, quickly agreed with me. Women, and men, need to carry what they will shoot.
Good post. I agree with you. I did something with my wife that 90% of men that I know and have seen never do. I let her PICK HER OWN GUN!!!!!!! GASP!!!!! :shock:
She shot a smith and Wesson shield, Ruger LC9s, Taurus 85, Ruger lcr 9mm, glock 26, glock 43, glock 21, glock 19 Ruger lcp, 45 shield, and a couple others I’m sure I’m missing and she chose a revolver out of all the different ones she shot because with her hands being small and becoming what I fear arthritic the single action double action revolver in 38 spl works best in her hands and she can hit the target very well. I never forced her or pushed her into choosing what she did, she came to that conclusion on her own. She can shoot lights out with my glock 19 but it’s sometimes hard for her to hold. She knows how to use her gun and safely operate it. She doesn’t particularly enjoy shooting but goes to keep her skill up and she knows the importance of guns and self defense. She asks me most times when we go somewhere if I am carrying because it makes her feel safe.

Re: What’s with the gun community

I agree with all said. Today I am pocket carrying my Ruger lcr 357 with a speed strip on my belt. And I feel just fine! Nice light package. Due to work I have to stay pretty concealed so this works for me. I’m confident with it. Tomorrow I may carry my 45 shield or my glock 19. Usually it depends on how I feel or what I’m wearing or where I am. I’m comfortable with all and and switch from either of them with no issues. This forum is one of the few places I’ve seen that is pretty neutral. I have seen some not so nice things here but that’s human nature!

What’s with the gun community

I have never understood why the gun community can be so judge mental on what firearm an individual chooses to carry. I understand we have freedom of speech (praise the Lord) and can give our opinions but, does it really matter what someone else carries? I was always told to carry the gun that you are GOING to carry. People go out and buy a full size 1911 and think that toting 40 oz plus is no big deal but figure out wow this was a bad idea and it’s to heavy. Well if it’s too heavy they are going to leave It at home. Some people can carry a gun that large daily I’m not one. If you can and do more power to you. I have heard people say if you don’t carry a glock 19 or sig p320 or a 1911 then you are dumb. I have heard others say a revolver is obsolete. That is a farce in and of itself. I don’t care what gun you carry whether it’s a Ruger LCP or a high point C9. I might make suggestions on good carry guns if asked but I won’t ever criticize someone for what they choose. Sometimes its a money thing and that 200$ Taurus millennium g2 appeals to them and their budget and works for them. Sometimes it’s a weight issue. I know some people who can’t carry a heavy gun due to back issues and have to carry something light.

Sorry about my rant but it has been on my
Mind for a while.
