I'm being optimistic about things here in Missouri and thinking about how I'm going to carry when I'm able.
I understand that concealed carry firearms are about compromise between concealable and potability/power. So, sort of how we dress in layers for versatility against the cold, I think I will "carry in layers"
I envision three layers of firearms.
1. A full-sized pistol that is your "main" weapon. You carry it when it's cold out and it sleeps near you in your house
2. A smaller gun that goes with you when the full-sized can't or when it's out of repair.
3. An even smaller gun that you can carry when nothing else will work.
Obviously you could get away with just 1 and 3. but I think 2 adds some extra versatility. Plus when you're carrying 1, 2 or 3 can act as a BUG
It would be nice if these three handguns were as similar as possible This immediately lead me to the CZ line.
1. CZ75
2. P-01
3. RAMI (if they prove themselves once they get here)
A big plus to this setup is that each smaller gun can use the magazines from the guns larger than it. Unfortunately this is limited to 9mm until a .40 P-01 sized CZ comes out in the US.
Can anybody else think of a trio of firearms that fit my purposes?
I've thought about glocks, but I'm not as familiar with their lineup. Will full sized glock mags snap into compact and subcompact frames? A G20/G29 combo is appealing but I'm not sure if a G29 is small enough for true deep concealment.
Any thoughts from experienced CCL holders (or anybody) are welcome.
Thanks
