I change my gun mindset more often than a guy dating twin sisters....
Because Its Cool = Original Sterling Mk6 9mm Carbine, Springfield Armory imported FAL, Steyr AUG, Bushmaster ACR, Sig556 Patrol Swat
I'm selling all of these. I simply don't have time to enjoy "fun guns". When I have time to go to the range I need to be shooting something I'll actually use.

I'm massively downsizing my gun collection to only those guns that I actually use and that serve a purpose.
In fact, over the past month I've sold off the majority of my collection. I'm actually down to the handful of guns I routinely use now. It feels great too.
Its hard to beat a piston AR or FN Scar and Glock 9mm.

They're really nice rifles.

I THINK I've already answered this, but My advanced age leaves me unsure, so here goes.
1. Contact out to 25 yards = Beretta PX4 Strom 9mm Pistol using P9HST3 ammo and 20 round mags. 2. 15-50 yards (Maybe 75) = Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm Carbine using P9HST3 ammo and 20 round mags. (Same mags as the Pistol) 3. 25 yards out to about 200 or so = AR15A3 .223 4. 100 yards and out = Remington 600 Mohawk .308.
MY backup choice for 9mm loads would be Remington Golden Saber 124 Grain +P ammo in either bonded (preferred) or non bonded, but I think each would work for NON BARRIER penetration. I have carried Golden Sabers before and like them.

I am sure that those of you that read my above post noticed a distinct lack of the vaunted 45acp. ONE reason for this is that my current "Favorite" 45 is the Springrield Armory SDX. BUT the last time I shot it, after about 50 rounds it had my "You're Number one" finger hurting so bad I couldn't even grip it correctly. Now my 45 Colt 1991A1 is a different story.
The Other, and I guess main reason is that I have a 9mm pistol AND carbine that uses the same magazine. THAT to me is worth a lot. No worries about grabbing the wrong one PLUS for most purposes (Mine anyway) the 9mm loading I am using will get the job done adequately. NO handgun round is a guaranteed ONE SHOT STOP. It's all a trade off, one in which you MUST stack the odds in YOUR favor. Due to my age, eyesight and not shooting as much as I would like/should, I just do better with the 9mm at the ranges I specified in my above post.

There are a lot of good reasons for using the gun you do best with, no matter the caliber.

I have 45Acp HK handguns, but don't really use them for anything. I've given up on the 9 vs 45 debate. I shoot 9mm better; they're easier to carry and conceal, and the ammo is lighter and cheaper...plus higher capacity mags.
For me the debate is over. I have 9 and 45, but I use 9.
