For those who live in the freezebelt do you up your cal. and ammo and size of weapon for carry? Number one you have more garments on and can get away with a bigger weapon. Number two heavy winter garmnents can clog the hi-speed lite bullets,(9mm,SW40) and make them fail to open to perform like FMJ ammo. In the wheelgun 38spec. I go to the +P 158LSC-HP for the snubby instead of the 125gr. and 135 gr, hp. IN the .357 a good 158hp . In the auto up to the.45acp 230gr. HP Even though I can get away with bigger full size I still pack the compact type J and K frames with short 3" or less barrels and in the auto a G-36 45acp which has proven reliable and accurate and very easy to carry. I see alot of local fellows carry the 1911 and 4" 357 mag wheelgun to with the loose winter type garb. Whats your choice and why??

ccw9mm

No.

I carry a relatively stout 9mm all the time, the Federal Hydrashok Tactical 9mm JHP 124gr +P+ at the moment. Am debating whether to stick with this or rely on the DoubleTap 9mm JHP 124gr +P, which adds about 30% more power and some speed, given the increase in reliable and smooth cycling and minor impact on aim and follow-up ability.

No change here. A Sig P-229 w/124gr Fed. EFMJ's (40 total). Even if someone is wearing heavy leather clothing with thermal vest, etc. they still don't wear much on the head. If the two COM shots don't do the trick, there is still a round comming their way aimed for the Face/head. Repeat as necessary until threat is gone.

Deadmarsh: Why carry different stuff in the spare mags? Just wondering.
