380's are much easier to conceil than even 9mm - they have saved many many people and often with only one shot.

they aren't designed for a gun fight, they are a last defense. if you can't conceil anything bigger then a 380 is a great choice.

if you are allowed open carry its a whole different ball game.

ultimately it comes down to buy what you will actually carry. get what is comfortable, practice and become proficient with it. user proficiency is far more important than caliber.

 

I bought this over the weekend. Its a Taurus PT111 9mm pro. This will be my main carry gun. I have a Keltec P11 also. I did my all my permit paperwork and class about 45 days ago. Should get my permit in about a month or two. The DMV told me it would be a minimum of 90 days since so many people are getting them.

 

I had my basic handgun class,and just had a advance class this weekend will be he ccw class then I will purchase something will keep you updated!

I carried a Glock 20 concealed for years - square outline and all. A lot of people CCW 1911's just find too. A small pistol in a bad holster isn't any better then a big pistol in a bad holster.

Buy a good holster to match your pistol!

I also agree that you should buy what you WILL carry and practice a lot with it. A solid hit with a .32ACP WW2 surplus pistol is better then a miss with a 44 Magnum.

 

Nice to have a gun around the house

That's sad.. I could not imagine what that would feel like for the dad and family.

 

I have friends that this happened too, about thirty years ago and none of them are past it yet. The whole family was destroyed. Pure hell on earth for the brother that was handling the gun at the time. All for nothing.
