Size Doesn't Matter? A Gun Cranks Discussion on Carry Handguns

We’ve all heard it – the endless debate about handgun size. Is bigger better? Does a sub-compact offer the ultimate concealability, or does a full-size provide the confidence and capacity needed for a serious defensive situation? The Gun Cranks, brought to you by FMG Publications, aren't afraid to stir the pot, and their latest episode, “Does Size Matter?”, is no exception. They’re serving up unfiltered opinions and a healthy dose of reality checks – and frankly, it's refreshing.

Forget the polite hand-wringing and politically correct nonsense you find elsewhere. These guys dive straight in, calling out the notion that size doesn't matter as a load of hogwash. They’re quick to dismiss the “I’m not big enough to carry a full-size” excuse as “fake news,” citing examples of individuals who defy those limitations. It's a sentiment that resonates with anyone who appreciates a no-nonsense approach to self-defense.

The discussion touches on the evolution of compact pistols, from the Ruger American to the Smith & Wesson Shield and the more recent Hellcat. The Hellcat, with its impressive capacity packed into a small frame, has undeniably shifted the landscape of concealed carry. They even reminisce about early innovations like the I Nova Novo, a testament to the ingenuity of gunsmithing and the ongoing pursuit of smaller, more concealable firearms.

What really shines through is the practicality and experience these guys bring to the table. Roy Huntington's mention of his CZ P-01, a reliable and easily concealed option, demonstrates that there's a balance to be struck between size, capacity, and shootability. The debate isn’t about finding the absolute smallest gun possible; it’s about finding the right tool for the job, based on individual physiology, carry method, and threat assessment.

This episode isn't a technical deep dive into ballistics or trigger mechanics. It's a conversation – a sometimes chaotic, always entertaining conversation – about a fundamental choice every armed citizen faces. And it’s a reminder that in the world of self-defense, there's no room for excuses. Carry what you can comfortably and proficiently handle, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The Gun Cranks aren't just talking; they’re encouraging competence and responsibility.
