Small framed revolver, or one of the million and a half small frame automatics.
Stick with a common, but decent self defense round, .45 or .40. I would check out the Taurus site, look for guns that interest you, than see what is available to try locally. Most dealers in the US have some method of test firing a gun to see how it feels and shoots. Think about your lifestyle and your wardrobe. Do you often wear a coat? I mean it's sub tropical there right? You don't want to carry something that is going to print (show through). I like a compact .45 in an under waistband holster in the middle of my back. It's comfortable, not the fastest or best draw position, but right there. Comfortable to carry. Can be covered with a button up or a t-shirt. There are some small pocket or wallet guns out there too, but I haven't owned one. If I can't hit 10 for 10 at 20 meters I'm not carrying it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Vivec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 3:23 PM > To: cf-community > Subject: Re: gun talk... clickNclack > > I was thinking more about conceal and carry purposes actually. > > 2008/11/26 Loathe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > ..22 single shot or revolver.
