16			Ounces	Energy Cap		Thoght exercise: Assume a willingness to carry 40.3 ounces
17	Broader Opportunity Cost	PF9 w/ 28 rnds	32.3	9296		Is a Ruger American Compact 9 with 24 rounds, good trigger, allegedly ambidextrous controls, and presumably 99.99 reliability better than:
18	Carry a Ruger American Compact	Applegate Knife	4.2				a PF9 with almost 40 rounds, no ambi controls, heavy trigger, and presumably 99.9 reliability*
19	9mm with 24 rounds or this pkg	QuikClot Trauma	4.4				a LCP with 61 rounds, no ambi controls, heavy trigger, and presumably 99.99 reliability
20	featuring PF9 with 28 rounds,	EDC Med Gear					a Colt 1911 with only 4 rounds, partial ambi controls, excellent trigger, and presumably 99.99 reliability
21	a knife, and trauma kit						a Glock 43 with 33 rounds, no ambi controls, good trigger, and presumably 99.999 reliability
22	equal weight*	Total EDC	40.9				a Sig P365 with 36 rounds, no ambi controls, good trigger, excellent sights, and presumably 99.99 reliability
23	*the extra 14 rounds, knife, and trauma kit are the "Opportunity Cost"						a PPQ with 30 rounds, excellent ambi controls, great trigger, and presumably 99.99 reliability
24	of going with the Ruger American Compact over the Kel-Tec PF9						a CZ P10 with 30 rounds, excellent ambi controls, excellent trigger, and presumably 99.99 reliability
25							a FN FNS9C with 31 rounds, ambi controls, excellent trigger, and presumably 99.99 reliability
26
27	Great articles, but lack full context. Size. Weight. Dollars. Opportunity cost.						* PF9 and Sig are pretty close, except you could buy two PF9's, a knife, and trauma kit for the price of one 365...the other opportunity cost.
28	Why Glock?						* At these round counts (24 to 61 rounds and using Hornady Critical Defense) presumably all will be near 100% reliable
29	Glock Mods						* These are not extended 10,000 round gun battles
