Re: Reconsidering carry gun: why do you carry what you do?
Most of us will never encounter such a situation. I don't plan to work around it. You might... we each have to weigh our risks and act accordingly.
Might as well carry a magnum revolver or 10mm.
10mm Hornady 180 gr XTP 5" barrel
Muzzle 1275 650
50 yard 1146 525
100yrd 1052 443
(ft/s) (ftlb)

At 100 yards you're beating some 40 S&W rounds. 10mm recoil is manageable.
44 Magnum 7.5" barrel
Muzzle 1350 971
50 yd 1231 807
100yd 1134 685

A 9mm is a fine round, so is a 357 magnum or 38 +P.

Re: Reconsidering carry gun: why do you carry what you do?
I've tried a lot of different carry guns since I started carrying 15 years ago. But, lately I find its either my G19 Gen 5 with an RMR or my SIG P229... I know I can get hits effectively out to most realistic distances and have a lot of rounds through the 19. I ran a Gen 4 19 in IDPA for the few years I was actively competing...

I know a fellow that said this...
"if you prepare only for the "average" gunfight then you plan on not being prepared for half of them!"
I listen to him.

Re: Reconsidering carry gun: why do you carry what you do?
I used to carry a P365 IWB and a Kel Tec P32 as a backup. Due to some medical issues, I've had to switch to pocket carry, so I now carry a Ruger LCP Max .380. I don't like it nearly as much as my P365. It's not as accurate or as comfortable to shoot. But it will get the job done. In an effort to keep the gun as light as possible, I keep it fed with alternating rounds of Liberty Civil Defense Ultra Light and Underwood Xtreme Defender ammo.
When I go for walks I carry my P365 in a fanny pack slung like a sling pack. It's easily accessible, and since I'm exercising usually in sweat shorts or pants, no one really gives it much mind.

Re: Reconsidering carry gun: why do you carry what you do?
They're less snappy than FMJ .380. Smaller grain bullets (50gr for Liberty Civil Defense and 68gr for Underwood) helps with that. Still snappy because it's .380, but more manageable.
Have you looked at a belly band? They can be worn higher if your build allows it. I recommended the one from N8 Tactical to a friend of mine who wanted something for when she went to the gym. So far she's been pretty happy with it.

I carry this thing in particular because I think it looks pretty.
