In Germany's Gun-Making Hub, Residents Carry for Protection: From SIG Sauers to Revolvers

In the heart of Germany, known for its rich gun-making history, residents carry a variety of firearms for personal protection. From retired software engineers to NRA instructors, each individual has their unique preferences and reasons for concealed carry.

Julie, a 65-year-old NRA instructor, favours a SIG Sauer P365 in a kydex holster attached to a Travelon waist pack. She ensures she's prepared with a spare magazine, bleed gauze, a tourniquet, and a flashlight. Grace, another NRA instructor, prefers appendix carry for comfort and ease of concealment, despite the challenges with clothing. She uses a SIG Sauer P365XL with a Holosun red-dot optic and a Streamlight TLR-7 Sub flashlight in a 'We the People' kydex-style, inside-the-waistband holster.

Roger, a 68-year-old retired software engineer, carries a Glock 43. He values the gun's reliability and affordability, using a Crossbreed in-the-waistband holster or a DeSantis SuperFly pocket holster. Jay, a 53-year-old executive editor, carries a Lone Wolf Dusk 19 with a Trijicon RMR HD red-dot optic in a KSG Armory Lexington kydex in-the-waistband holster at the 1 o'clock position. He also carries a spare magazine, pepper spray, and a knife for added protection. Mel, a 48-year-old managing editor, prefers a hammerless revolver, opting for a Ruger LCR .327 Fed. Mag. revolver in a purse or bag for its reliability and ability to fire without a slide action.

From SIG Sauers to Glocks and revolvers, residents in this historic 'weapon city' carry a variety of firearms for personal protection. Each individual's choice is influenced by factors such as reliability, affordability, ease of concealment, and personal preference.
