Those of you with dissimilar firearms in your "carry rotation"... How much training / trigger time do you actually have behind any one of those platforms?
Any training at all? No, former military training doesn't count.
Can't speak for everyone but with the variety in Indiana weather (0 degrees to 90 degrees) I wear radically different clothes throughout the year, and so I have 2-3 options in carry to accommodate.I have never understood the concept of having different types of carry guns "in rotation." I cannot see any advantage to switching types. Maybe if I were a gun instructor and wanted to have experience with different types? Having a backup gun in addition to the main carry guy, e.g. having a smaller gun in an ankle holster or backpocket or whatever, I can see the logic in that, but not changing out the main gun every so often for another type just because.
Come on! Don’t you have a holster or a scabbard for your lever action gun on your mower next to the cup holder???This is pretty much where I’m at right now with a 4th category of ‘Mowing the lawn on a hot and humid day gun’. That’s where the G27 lives.
I have a belt gun and a pocket gun. I don’t get having multiple different carry guns. I carry the same way regardless of the season or weather. 43X AIWB and an LCPII for when I’m wearing gym shorts or not wearing a belt for whatever reason.

That's because most folks who carry guns carry them as a magic talisman vs. putting in the work.
I think its the other way around Clay, at least when I was in the Army, my GI .45 was there in case my M-60 machine gun decided to SNAFU.
LT. wen you find out what dug the small hole that caused you to fall, blast it!

I just bought a carry rig for the PMR30 just for grins. the 22 mag is not a great self defense round but I figure 30 shots to the torso should keep them at bay.
...or the ear canal
I was waiting for that response, and once again, INGO doesn't disappoint!
But the ear canal only takes 7 shots compared to 30 in the torso. So you could take out 4.28 bad guys per mag if you go that route.
I've even heard that there are people that try switching from pickups to sedans without retraining between. The human brain is not capable of adapting to more than one muscle memory, I say. Egads, whats next? Using a fork and spoon in the same meal?That's because most folks who carry guns carry them as a magic talisman vs. putting in the work.
