Getting back to the original question, I purchased the S&W M&P Shield chambered in .40 S&W. Nice little hand gun and shoots well using 165 or 180 gr ammo, readily available from WalMart or any other place that sells ammo. Slightly more expensive than 9MM ammo, but only by a penny or two per round.

Too bad that it’s not cheap too.

It isn't too big or heavy and will still do plenty of damage in a self defense situation with hollow point ammo. It certainly doesn't carry that much ammo, 7 total including one in chamber. But I'm not planning on having a shootout with anyone. I'm sure you'll hear from other guys who carry a 45 and open carry them with extra mags. I'm not "that" guy who is a conservative, FOX loving republican, gun nut who thinks Obama is out to steal our guns. If you honestly just want something to protect you in most situation, stay smaller like 380 or 9mm but not much bigger than that. I've also carried the S&W Bodyguard 380 with built-in laser. It conceals even better than the Glock does. On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 10:03 AM, Paul McCall <[email protected]> wrote: I am getting my CC permit (Florida) in a week or so. I took an absolutely excellent class from the main trainer at the Brevard county sheriff’s office. Now, I am looking for an excellent CC gun to use, as my long barrel Colt 38 is not a good fit for that. I am certain that this group probably has a LOT of expertise (and many opinions) on THE gun to use. J Paul McCall, Pres.
