My life is worth more than 1k gun, so if 1k buys me a gun that is 100% reliable with a proven track record, then that's what I'm getting. I just threw $1k out there but we all know we could get cheaper that are reliable (glock, m&p, XD etc..)

 

Glad you threw that last sentence in there. I have a S&W Model 10 that I paid $50 for and it's as reliable as anything else out there and I have carried it as a duty gun.

 

Personally, I wouldn't have a Taurus anything on my side. I hear Taurus and I think of Ray Ray's Charter Arms debackle. I asscosiate the two in the same catergory for some reason. Albeit, I have never shot one and I doubt I will.

 

Well a Charter ain't a Taurus that's for sure. Yours is a typical comment of a Taurus hater. I have three revolvers and 2 semiautos (purchased between 1988 and 2006) and don't hestitate to carry any of them for SD. the 4" 669 I bought in 88 or 89 has proven to be more durable than a 1974 S&W M19 (yeah pinned and recessed and all that) that lasted me 5 years before the flame cutting and timing told me to get rid of it. Oh yeah, I'll still buy a S&W.

After shooting a few old Taurii, I think they were deserving of the scorn heaped on them. The newer ones are a different story thugh. The 1911 they make is a great deal for what seems to be a really good gun.

My sig p250 compact for open carry

I'd switch it to subcompact for concealed

 

I'd also buy a judge public defender

 

Did they ever start selling the kit for the sub-compact? I know you can get it with the 2SUM and I would love to convert my 250.

Mmmmm, now where could I get a holster for my S&W 500? Lmao!

I'd probably carry whatever. I usually carry a Glock 19 and an old Colt as a BUG. When I air-travel I usually carry just one gun unless I am going to a shoot. Then I carry a BUG and of course there are other guns/silencers along for the ride.
