Carrying a handgun is akin to dressing for the occasion.
Dependent on the perceived threat level at my destinations’ location, determines what I carry.
I have been CCW for 65 years, have had to use one twice none LEO status,(retired PO).
Today, nearing 80 years of age, I try to limit the weight on me.
I only use a flip phone, no fancy I-Phone, being a dinosaur that is all I need.
One thing I do do is carry a backup piece 90% of the time, when leaving for the big city, 100%.
There are some ex-cons that would like to get even with me.
Backup consist of a laser sighted S&W 642 with one HKS speed loader in pocket.
Great for late fall and winter in coat pocket, can be fired right through it if needed.
Primary handguns for cool-cold weather carry are full size autos, hammer fired (old school).
Total spare magazines carried is dependent on destination and route, do carry spares for all models in console.
I carry a Gerber folder as a utility knife, not for fighting not at my age.
