Do you standardize on one caliber/platform?

[kirock7]

What I'm wearing any particular day dictates what gun I'll be carrying. Shorts and t-shirt; .380 or .38 snubby. Jeans and polo's or hawaiian's; 9mm (either Taurus or Ruger). Dressed up (sunday-go-to-meeting clothes); Taurus 24/7 in .40 (and soon to be in my holster... a Taurus PT1911 )
I go to the range and practice enough that I have good muscle memory on all of them (especially since if it's not in my pocket, it's always in an IWB at 2:30/3:00 on my strong side.)
In the house we have strategically located weapons, but rely mainly on the shotguns for PD.

I tried, but failed miserably...

Ohhhhh, the agony!!!

Nah.

Though I would if I could get a really good 1911 in 9mm. I figured it was better to get one in native .45acp since I can get parts for it anywhere.

What I REALLY want is a small, lightweight, skinny 9mm, kinda like the G36 only regular sized and in 9mm.

Taurus PT709 "Slim"
$350
if you were in DFW I'd letcha shoot mine.

manual safety, DA/SA ... not much like a g36. Kahr is a closer fit.

I thought we were talking about standardizing caliber and platform?

Need to get back on topic folks.

[mr.72]

nobody makes you put the safety on, it's NOT true DA/SA, but hey, whatever you say...
not to mention the price difference.

don't get me wrong, the Kahr is awesome. I've shot one, and like it quite a bit.

Hey bro I am not trying to argue :) I think the Taurus is a cool gun. It is close to the price of a CW9. I only read the literature saying it's DA/SA, I don't know if it's "true" or not. And the safety may wind up on at an inopportune moment (I speculate, how would I know?), which is not possible with a Kahr or Glock or other DAO-no-safety gun.

Standardizing on "platform" must include manual of arms at least on some level, right? I kind of wish Taurus made that little Slim with an optional manual safety. I think I would probably buy one promptly.
