Shoot what you are used to and live with.

Pretty good discussion.

I keep up with those guys on the tube. I usually always enjoy watching them. Bryan is a wealth of knowledge for sure. One thing in this video that needed a little more clarification was the comment by Bryan, however: regarding the single action being fastest for the first shot. It is the fastest when using an open carry fast draw holster, we have all seen how quick that can be. But not from concealment. I do think that needed said or demonstrated otherwise. Because I have experimented a lot with CCW including the singleaction and I just have never found a holster that worked for CCW, that I draw and fire a singleaction as fast as I can a 1911 from concealment.

But I agree with them, 100% on the leveractions especially. And I especially agree with Brian on the bigger handgun calibers.

Comments that I really liked in this video, referred to the practice of carrying a gun all of the time, and how a small gun was so much easier to carry, until that moment comes when you really need it to save your live, then at that moment, you will wish you were carrying a bigger gun. I had that happen to me, just the other night, when I was out on my farm by myself after dark, carrying a .357 mag revolver, which common sense tells me is all I need, and my light landed on something that turned out to be nothing, but spooked me a little bit for several seconds, and I thought right then, that I wished that I was carrying one of my 44 mags instead of the .357. Funny how thoughts like that race through your mind, when you suddenly feel vulnerable.
