There's only one solution to that problem:These ideas for caliber swapping are great, but not approved here in occupied Kalifornia. Permit requires mfg/model, s/n AND caliber.

This is enough to really make you mad. (How I miss CA.)These ideas for caliber swapping are great, but not approved here in occupied Kalifornia. Permit requires mfg/model, s/n AND caliber.

Well first of all, it depends on what county you get your permit from. Riverside and Orange allow 6 guns, San Bernardino only 3. It's an easy answer, a G17, G19 and a G26 (or one and two of the other, or 3 of the same). Newbies always think they need a tiny gun because it's easy to conceal. Yes, but it's much more difficult to grip and manage recoil, ie, much harder to make the same hit than running a G17. And after all, it may be the one hit you need to make in your whole life. The only people who notice any printing are cops, and they think you are a cop, or CCW holders, and they won't say anything unless it's exposed completely.Imagine this scenario:
You are limited to 3 pistols for your permit to conceal carry (California). You only have access to Gen 3 Glocks. What 3 Gen3 Glocks would you put on your permit? Obviously I would love a G43 but don't have access to that model and not willing to pay $1,000 for one on the secondary market
Not necessarily true. On my permit in Sacramento, I have one Glock listed with multiple calibers. It’s the frame that gets listed on the permit. My issuing agency simply put the multiple calibers next to the serial number of the frame. The issuing agency has some leeway here. The instructor for the CCW class this past year did make me qualify with each caliber and I had to run the course of fire with each different caliber. A couple of years ago, the particular instructor for the class didn’t even bother with making me qualify with each caliber, just had me list the multiple calibers on the paperwork and the IA approved it.This is enough to really make you mad.

Hmmm! Live & learn, I guess. Thanks for the update. Something to look into for renewal time.Not necessarily true. On my permit in Sacramento, I have one Glock listed with multiple calibers.

Daily. It depends upon how I dress and where I plan upon going. If it's around the house or to the range, many times I'll use a Glock 21. If I'm going to an event that has non-gun people around, I'll go smaller if my clothing cannot guarantee concealment.How often do you guys in free states rotate between models?
Left with only those choices, I'd go with this.Imagine this scenario:
