Re: How many guns are in your CCW "remuda"?
After trying many CCW guns, I now only have two that I carry. A S&W 642 airweight (38 sp) with a hipster grip IWB and in the summer with shorts, a Ruger LCP. Those two cover everything for me.

Re: dented cases
It's just a plinking pistol. Shooter 45, that was a great explanation but since I have an over supply of thumbs, I'll let my gunsmith do it. Thanks a bunch.

Great reporting. Keep us posted. I also think the 22 and the 22mag are overlooked for CCW. Why carry a cannon when a pistol will do.
