For 6 years I have had a .45acp 3.3" SA XDs for my right hand ... and I recently bought another one for my left hand.Have You Changed Anything Relating To Self Defense Recently?
Nothing recent. I added carrying and extra mag a few years ago. Need to find time to hit the range.
After my wife and younger brother died within months of each last year, that really took the wind out of me.
I hope to get back to the range soon. Before my life fell apart, I did start practicing at longer distances. Never thought I would have to worry a about someone possibly with a long gun.
I'm not opening a discussion on motivations or reasons, I'm just curious if anyone has changed anything relating to their self defense routine, regimen, practice, firearm selection, etc. recently.
I'll lead off. Three years ago I moved to a new town that I consider to have less crime than my previous residence. As a result I stopped carrying my larger, primary carry gun and aside from donning my .357 for the occasional walk in the woods started carrying just a pocket .380. For a variety of reasons I went almost two years without firing a single practice round.
Recently I purchased a larger (compact) carry pistol and after running 600 "proving" rounds through it have begun carrying that in addition to the pocket .380. I have been making regular trips to the range and have been working on increasing my accuracy and reducing my target acquisition times and follow up shot times. When practicing at the range I almost always let my empty magazines drop without catching them and reload by drawing a fresh magazine from my mag holster while keeping my pistol up in my line of sight. Basically just getting back in the routine of running my pistol like I would in a fight.
What changes have you made?
Bought a LCP II to carry at the house. It's on me while I'm awake. It's small and light. Hopefully I can use that to fight my way to something bigger. Would love to carry my G19. But my BIL isn't 2A friendly. So until we move into our new house. (Nov 1st) his house his rules.
He doesn't see it. Out of sight out of mind. That and he doesn't know I carry it. He knows I have a few. He's never seen the inside of my safe. My sister has but not himWhy's your BIL ok with the LCP but not the Glock?
