Ok so we all do different things throughout the week. So do you have a gun for different personal activities.

Sure! I have competition guns, carry guns (depending on my dress for the day), and fun range guns that I share with others to get them interested. But for serious daily carry I use two, a Guncrafter Industries bobtailed Commander in .45 for normal use when I can keep it covered, or a P365 for when in shorts and a t-shirt.

Depending on the activity and clothing I switch what I carry.

Important to consider the comfort/training with each one as well before doing this of course. Shooting is shooting but the subtleties between guns is important.

When you go 38 snobby in the pocket do you go hammerless?

I spent 8 weeks in Ecuador in the 80' where they dynamited the fish or I should say ity bity fish since they killed everything. People in town were missing fingers and hands from dynamite fishing.

a gun is nothing but a tool, different situations call for different tool.

It used to be a Glock 23 or a Kahr CM9. After dominant hand surgery, I had to step away from .40, so now it’s all 9mm, size depending on attire.
