Verbal judo. At my age if I can't talk my way out of a situation then Glock .40. I'm old and brittle and I don't believe in a fair fight with someone stronger and faster.

MSG (Join to see) - My brother loves .40, I enjoy the extra rounds offered by 9, given the relatively minor difference in ballistics. He swears by it though.

SSG Vik Polivka - Always go with what you're comfortable with. My dainty wife tried a 9mm ... damn near smacked her in the face. The .22 fit her like a glove. And then she bedazzled it ... She is and forever will be my girly girl.

Interestingly, I've never heard of EDC though I'll obviously look it up, I've personally, as I've said elsewhere on here, grown to love both aikido as well as iaido, not for any practical reasons, however, only for their purely aerobic benefit, as well as the sheer complexity and or precision's of the motions, as well as the fluidity needed...I did also see an aikido group on the site here, as well, which, if nothing else, is, at the very least, encouraging, lol...

As a recreational/fitness thing I choose jujitsu. It is easier on my body than say judo or kickboxing. I am 47 and have to be much more careful and use my mind and experience over the younger guys. However, for real self defense if I can't 'diplomatically' avoid it- 911 or 9mm whichever is more appropriate for the moment.

BTW my EDC is Glock 30S (.45) and if I need something slimmer (business suit e.g.) or BUG in addition, I use Sig P238 (.380) Looks like a micro 1911.
