 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Have you noticed that carry guns have become Larger and larger as time has gone on at least the way the manufacturer is categorizing a Carry gun I equate this to cell phones back in the day only rich people had cell phones And then they had the one you'd carry around with a bag It had a cord going to the the handset and that was a big deal But then they came out with the standalone phone and I was one of the first to get it as a young guy in the early 90s I got a phone call from my brother said hey you can get one of these I can get one for you cheap I said yeah get it. I didn't even know how to use it But I would walk around act like I was talking to people said that's one of those new cell phones right there And I loved the attention even though I didn't know how to use it But as time went on phones became smaller and smaller and then they came out with flip phones and even these tiny little phones They had and smaller was better and slip it in the pocket and be done with it But then the internet got involved and phones became larger and larger and larger again Some phones are like this big now and we see that exact same trend with carry guns The Kel-Tec P380 was a huge deal the P32 also a huge deal very small prior to that they were large 1911 4-inch barrel revolvers, but then they became a trending Pattern became very small little pocket guns then Ruger LCP You know Ruger copied the P380 They came out with their own version and people were selling those for their bidding wars that that gun shows for over $600 to get their hands on that if you could believe it or not But then as time went on people said I don't want the 380. I want the 9 millimeter car had the PM 9 diamond back had the DB 9 the Shield came out. It was a huge seller couldn't even keep them on the shelves at the gun stores They were selling for over $600 once again But then when sick came out with the P320 and they were able to stuff 10 rounds in a magazine with a 3.1 inch barrel It became hugely popular and then they started increasing the magazine size This is a 12 round and then they continued to do that Then they came out with the X compact began to make them Larger and people were eating those up and the X macro came out it made huge news People wanted a larger handgun. You look at Springfield with the Hellcat three inch barrel Subcompact double-stack nine millimeter what they do they came out with the Hellcat pro 3.7 inch barrel and now 17 round mags you look at the SIG X compact 15 round mags The 3.7 inch barrel and what did they do? They have the P320 X carry with larger mags. It's a larger overall Handgun, I think things are trending larger. You look at the Taurus GX4 when this came out people were shocked, you know the small little lightweight 11 round carry gun three inch barrel, but what did they do they came out with a GX4 carry, they made a larger gun 3.7 inch barrel 15 round mags and they're calling it a carry gun So things trended very small for a long time and now things are getting large again And we're seeing people carry in 1911's is it a sign of the times or is it just trending in that direction? Or is this a bunch of nonsense because I know the single-stack market is still large people are pocket carrying either as a secondary or a Primary handgun people are still carrying Revolvers with five and six rounds in the pocket and they they say you know what I don't want to deal magazines I don't want to deal with anything I want the revolver and then others are going with the larger handguns and what I'm wondering is Where do you sit on this? Are you Saying I want to get the the largest handgun I could possibly carry still maintaining a comfort level where I know I'll carry it every day or I'm fine with the lower capacity because I feel it would be enough to protect my life if needed capacity is always a Big deal if you carry a single-stack I highly encourage you to carry a spare mag because you just don't know What you could be in for and you don't know how many rounds it's gonna take to fend off an attacker Double-stack 9s became popular and then we saw an explosion of those now We're seeing those same guns made by the same Manufacturers, but in a larger format where people are saying I think that's the one I need Prior to that, you know, you look at the FNS 9c. There is that medium 3.5 inch barrel the p10s by CZ right in the midst 12 round mags 3.5 inch barrel and a lot of people were fine with that. I don't know where you stand That's what I'm wondering are you still a Glock 19 guy that will carry that and say I want the 15 rounds and I want the reliability of a Glock or I'm going with a smaller pocket gun or somewhere in between The trend is kind of fascinating if you think about it how things went from so small to a little bit larger to a little bit larger to a Almost a full-size handgun, which brings it back to where it was about 15 years ago Let me know what you think.
