I only work in .40 cal. 9mm is underpowered and .45 gives too few rounds.
Two thoughts for you.
(1) WRT to riding MARTA - we’ve lived in ATL area since ‘85. Never WITNESSED anything of note except vagrant urination and some young toughs trying their thug looks on. But nothing overt. But ... I don’t ride MARTA off hours or when there’s no big event and large, shall we say, suburban populations on the trains — leaving Philips arena or Braves stadium. I would NOT want my college age daughter on MARTA south of Peachtree or North Ave after 11 PM. Lastly, some people LOOK assaultable; other don’t; other AREN’T assaultable (if that’s a word).
(2) When I carry my .45 I carry an extra mag on my left waist, right next to my cel phone. NO ONE has ever reactedto/noticed it. That gives me 15 rounds for my .45 Truthfully, if I need 15 rounds, I am in a gun fight as opposed to a self-defense moment, and I am in deep $hiite.
I wanna know, how do they manage to arrange the MARTA train cars so 80% of the seats face the wrong way, and 100% of those facing the right way are already occupied by some urban loser with a bad attitude going farther than anyone else?
