Also, people may be snobs about what they carry because they trust their lives with them. At least that's my reasoning. It's a strong dependence on your carry piece.

I dont disagree with what you said but I just dont get it. I mean yes, a CC gun is meant to protect your life. I still stand behind my statement that any gun is better than none. If I pull my firearm, it is because there are no other options and I or someone else is about to die. If my gun malfunctions, it has no different outcome than if I did not have a gun.

The snobbish part that I am referring to is people saying that they wont carry until they shoot thousands of rounds without any failures. Maybe snobbish is the wrong word.

I agree about not carrying a 1911. I choose not to do so myself.

It's all about confidence. The more flawless rounds go through the gun, the more confidence you have on it to work all the time, rain or shine.

I agree that a carry gun is better than no gun and you don't need to shoot 8k rounds through something for it to prove its reliability. My baseline for having confidence in a gun is around 500 rounds. Then again, all of my guns have been fired at least 3-4k times. I have confidence in all of them, but some are a bit more rugged than others.
