Right. I meant 9 mm K; not the conventional 9 mil.

Not a huge pistol guy, but go for a compact sized 1911 in .45
In some cases, when adrenaline is pumping, 9mm doesn't cut it, .45 will knock someone on their ass. Small clip but if it's a cc gun, I'm assuming you're not gonna need to fight hordes of attackers. IMO, cc pistols don't have to be hi-cap, or super precise. As long as I can hit a close range human target, it works. What matters to me is single-shot power. As I said, if you ever fire it, it's gonna be at a single, or maybe two people. I wanna knock them down with as few shots as I have to take. I don't know how small it is, but the judge revolver chambers .45 or .410 shotgun. I think it's a little big though. |

Umm... Preemption violation?? You don't want to be the test case (or maybe you do), but this 'law' will be overturned as unconstitutional. OP, I've had some XDs and like them. Also, if it's for summer carry and you're okay with .380acp, check out the Ruger LCP. |

With that said, I'm usually a .40s&w kinda guy unless it's bear season or I'm in a suit. Then, it's 10mm or .380acp, respectively. ymmv |

Sig-Sauer 1911 RCS Nitron FS by jsophoto, on Flickr it was an absolutely beautiful and fantastic shooting gun...but i left it at home 90% of the time because i couldn't conceal it and i was uncomfortable carrying it. my next gun for carry will probably be a Sig 9MM, because that's the caliber that i'm most comfortable with. |

as a photographer, i go where the shots are...not where it's necessarily the safest. i spend a whole lot of time in questionable areas, and i (and the models i have with me) feel much safer carrying a gun. as long as i'm not trespassing, i'm carrying.

A .380 to the eye is just as effective as a .500 SW to the chest^^^^

99% of the people in this thread probably shoots less then 1 hour a month, and probably never drawn on a person or shot a person. careful, of their advice.

2-3 hours a week. and you don't have to have drawn on or shot a person to know what you're talking about.

AMEN! i get so sick of people preaching the old "larger caliber" song and dance because they obviously haven't had any real world experience. and by experience i'm not saying you have to be involved in a shooting.... simulation,practice, research, and knowledge of how the body reacts to the trauma of gunshots placed to vital organs vs flesh wounds alone will be enough to learn you otherwise. i dont care who you are you cant make followup shots with .45 as fast and accurate as you can with a 9mm. lets just say that you attempt to get as many shots in with a 45 as you do a 9mm. i promise you have a better chance of stopping an attack with 5-7 perfectly placed shots compared to trying to squeeze off a 45 in the same amount of time and not hitting vital areas. and that's why i'll CC a 9 over a 45 any day. |

ha this statement is laughable at best. keep telling yourself that. shit changes when you have a gun pointed at your face or you're getting shot at. performance anxiety kills.

yeah, nobody's arguing that. he's asking about a gun for carry, not the best possible strategy for defending himself. so tell me how a lack of combat experience precludes me from offering good advice on a choice of carry weapon? it doesn't. it precludes me from offering advice on what to do if you're in a situation in which you have to draw and use your carry weapon, and you'll note that i haven't done that. nor do i think anyone else has.
