cheap smith&wesson lol the only cheap smith *wessons are the sigmas. i have owned 3 j frame revolvers, i still have a 637 which i will use as a bug. U cant get more reliable than a revolver, thier only limitation is the amount of ammo they can carry.

I have a Glock 23 that I love to shoot but haven't carried it yet (waiting for cooler weather and a light weight jacket to conceal better), but since I got my CCW in July, been carrying a Ruger LCP. Fits right nice in your front pocket in one of Uncle Mike's pocket holsters. I believe it would be a real trick to fire from the pocket as it has a very deep and hard trigger pull, but that does make it safer to carry.

There is no rule for this. Shoot many, choose one. It's all a matter of feel. Should it be a Semi-Auto, Revolver? It's not a show piece or a conversation starter, it's a tool. As mentioned in above posts, some ranges will rent firearms. Keep the targets you shoot with dates and notes on the firearm type and ammo used and your comments on the feel while using. Choose the one that works for you. Don't pick one that looks cool but kicks too hard when fired and makes the follow up shot difficult. Choose the one that feels best in your hand and allows you to shoot well 1st. Once that's taken care of choose a holster that works for you. Make sure it’s easy to draw the chosen weapon if and when needed and feels comfortable when you wear it... Then once you get one the fun starts… G.A.S
(Gun Acquisition Syndrome)… Oh Yea… Gotta have more…
