RECOMENDED DEFENSIVE HANDGUNS

    First choice in the pistol your security carries may have to be the one they own. If this is the case then there is not much that can be done unless they or church has the budget to upgrade. For the most part I like simple to operate, fair priced, reliable pistols from major manufactorers in major power factor. In most competative handgun sports 9mm does not make major power factor but with right ammo for those that have difficulty with full size handgun rounds it is a viable alternative. Author is a prolific gun owner and competative shooter and has over 50 handguns to choose from any day.  Right now one of my favorites is the SIG 2022 which sells for under $400 and has a stainless steel slide that rides in stainless steel rails on a polymer frame. It comes in a 12 round 40 S&W cartridge that is major power factor and a 17 round 9mm version with simple to use controls and comes with a spare magazine. Suggest on all pistols getting the tritium sight upgrade for use in low light situations. To God be the Glory, lets keep our congregations safe.

    The first photo above shows a SIG 1911 with two spar ten round magazines in favorite church holster due to security strap, leather magazine pouch and sturdy belt. The center photograph shows another typical loadout for me with myriad of important accessories. Pistol in paddle holster, spare magazine in holder, flashlight (mandatory), multi-tool, knife and voice recorder for recording important conversations. Far right shows a personal favorite load out for me. Full size 5" 1911, compact 1911 backup in shoulder rig and plenty of spare ammunition.
