While on the home front, I have my basic AR with a Vortex red dot and x2 magnifier with iron sites for back up. Have some quality hunting rounds to help put venison on the table and anything bigger than deer is rare in CT. Love my CZ 75bd, so there's my pistol.

If I need to go for a walk though, the AR stays and my CZ 22lr is coming.

But...wife is here too, so in reaility she is going to carry something!

This thread makes me think I should have a 22 pistol with optics. I love my buckmark, shoot it every week and pretty well- but doubt my ability with it to put meat on the table on a regular basis with iron sites.
