Being very proficient with what you carry is as important as to what you carry. Whatever you carry, learn how to use it, practice often & keep it in good working order.
Agree ^^. I've never understood the debate about which carry caliber to choose. There is no right answer! If you are proficient, comfortable, and confident with what you are holstering every day...then it is perfectly fine to carry. People can argue ballistics and/or capacity all they want...but for me it comes down to walking out the door every morning with something that I am comfortable and confident with.
