Recently saw a short video clip from Mike Pannone of CTT-Solutions, a guy who knows a thing or two about fighting with guns.
carrying something is better than carrying nothing----just be trained and ready to hit with what you carry. Makes great sense. .
I totally disagree with this philosophy and I think those that promote it are doing a disservice to the new gun owners and novice shooters that take it to heart.
If I do my part and get the hit the round should do its job. With the mouse calibers that fails to happen often. A small caliber paired with a small gun with a short barrel is a recipe for not getting the job done. The philosophy of just train with what works for you in regard to caliber and small pistols is the just another modern, politically correct way of saying do whatever you want. It is fine. Live and let live, whatever you want the truth to be fine. History says other wise. Hope is not a course of action.
