TODAY'S GUN TIME

You can't go wrong with a S&W Airweight in .38spl +P like a Model 642.

So if you are discussing what I said.. I did say 911 not 1911, 1911's are huge, not a carry gun in my estimation.

Misunderstood re: 911.... thought it was a typo where the 1 had been dropped off, and yes I agree about 1911's and High Powers for personal carry gun

Agreed... But they sure have a snap to them...

She's a beauty; I bet that'll get your attention. My

So, I personally don't like shooting the LCPs, because its a two finger kinda sized gun. However, honestly, I figure even a 32acp that is so small and easily to carry, that it is always with you, beats only carrying half the time. I personally feel a 380 7 shot pistol should be enough to stop a threat or get yourself out of it. Is it the ideal man stopper, no its not, but for EDC, your trying to stop a threat and get away. For in the house, I would want more power or more ammo.

Replace the magazine floor plate with a Peirce floor plate. That makes the pistol grip three fingered and very comfortable
My mini-pistol is a Kahr CW380. Once broken in, it's been a very reliable handgun.
Any small pistol, semi-auto or revolver, is going to be a bit snappy. But these aren't target pistols...all you need is center of mass and stop the attack. Don't look for more then that and don't even consider a range of more then 10-15 feet.

So maybe I'm in a restaurant and some guy jumps up and yells this is a robbery or something?? Ya never know, not figuring on getting in an OK Corral gunfight or anything.

It ain't your money...and even if it was, just give 'em the money and let them go. CCW is to save your life, not the 20 bucks you have in your wallet

My wife won't let me carry folding money anyway...

That would be exactly correct.

Right now I'm looking at the Ruger LCP and a Kel Tec P3AT, both 380's ... 10.2 oz and 7.7 oz respectively

I was going to say "I bet that's a handful to shoot", then noticed the blood on the backstrap. That's a good bear gun for backpacking though.
