Pistol caliber evolutions
There seems to have been a major evolution in concealed carry methods and calibers in recent years. I remember all through the 1990’s there was a big shift away from the 45acp caliber in Police and Military style weapons. Everyone and their dog was switching to higher capacity handguns. I guess to the average citizen, packing more rounds in a handgun was comforting. In the early part of the Millenium, many of the departments that originally went from the 45acp handguns to the 9mm, were slowly working their way from 40 S&W and up to .357 Sig. The 45acp has now started showing up in more and more departments and I’d have to probable say that I’d credit the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol for doing that.
I have a few Sig Sauer pistols that in my opinion can rotate through my weekly carry rotation, but I still feel like I’m wearing the same gun. My collection of Galco holsters for IWB Sig 239, Paddle holster Sig 226, ankle holsters for J-frame ect for street work all work very well. I’ve worn a few out, but considering I never had to custom make them and their consistant fitting, I’d highly recommend adding them to your CCW or duty work.
