    You are the man. My CC piece is the XD-40.

    But what ever you get you have to figure out are you going to carry at work or is it going to be hidden somewhere. That will determine what kinda size requirement you have. General rule of thumb is shoot what is comfortable to you so I would recommend finding a range that rents guns at the range and try different ones and calibers and see what you are comfortable. A 9mm handled and properly shot-placed will be way better then a .45 acp that you are all over and cant even aim cause of the recoil. Here is a shot of my little collection.

    I'm partial to my Glock G21 and G30 in .45 ACP; but a good generic pump shotgun were you just have to basically point and shoot is a good option. My .02 cents....

    If you pull one out you pull it out to shoot........ Right? People should never know you carry otherwise. So I agree with the folks here who suggest renting and shooting as many as possible to see which works for you. Then once this is accomplished by the best version money can buy.......

    If you ever do pull it out, you want no concerns about if it will work when you need it too.

    Me? I carry a Sig 229 .40 cal. 10 shot mag. because its very concealable, fits my hand well, very accurate, and the workmanship is without question.

    Read an article in a gun mag a few years ago talking about the best 2 shot kill rounds that can be fired. It s said, .357, and the .40 cal. were tops, with .45 right behind. This influenced my decision interms of caliber, as I was always told to shoot to bullets at a time into a target in personal defense situations. I take this subject very seriously. I know others here do as well. It is after all a right we have in this country, but one we should not abuse, by being trigger happy. I think you are doing the wise thing by getting your certs and saftey classes taken care of. Wish more people though that aspect through like you.

    Hope this helps.

    .22 Semi-auto!

    A nice .22 semi-auto for me! Maybe sub-sonic ammo? Also, knives are silent. I recall reading our troops in Iraq are carrying .22 semi-auto's for back-up. One shot, one kill.

    Just because you carry doesn't make you trigger happy.

    DITTO this. Hey those are the 2 calibers I own but I only carry the .40 the 357 isnt very concealable LOL. I will warn you though if you go to a range and get something you like and can handle dont watch any IDPA videos cause you may start to get addicted. This is now the thing that I want to get into. Looks like alot of fun and is also benificial cause it helps you shoot better.

    S&W 642 Airweight. 5 shot +P ammo and less than a pound. If you are considering a revolver, hammerless is the way to go.

    What^^ he said. Also what has not been mentioned is cost. sometimes cost makes your decision for you too. if this is not a factor , then go forthe young man .

    Try before you buy!!

    I agree with others on this. It is totally subjective. The best to own is the one you are most comforable with.

    My range rents most of the new models. Find what feel good to you.

    I have both a revolver (S&W Model 29 44MAG) and automatic (Cobray 9mm - 32 rounds in 1 mag.) close by the bed.

    The shotgun is close by as well just in case.

    Paranoid? NO! Prepared? YES!

    I have a Raging Bull that I am still trying to master. At 25 yards 1 round in the Bull's Eye, 2 on the paper edge and who knows where the other 2 went.

    After Katrina a client says I know where you are going and I got something that you need. I knew what he was talking about and said I already have one.

    He leaves and comes back with an aluminum briefcase and hands it to me. Sold it to me for a good price.

    I've not seen those vid's Darth. I will look around for them here in GA.

    Trigger Happy - Comment........... Guys I think we all know who is on this board. No need to regulate comments here. Just merely mentioning a level of conciousness<spelling > as it is an imense responsibility for Leo's and citizens alike. its no toy. For a citizen, I have seen my share of dead ppl.because of gunplay. Don't want it to be anyone I know.
