I would look at a 40 or 45 rather than the 9mm or 380. I carry a 9mm S&W model 59 and it conceals very well. I sometimes carry a 380 as a back up in my boot depending where I am going. But as far a being dependable, nothing better than an old revolver. I also have a double action S&W 357 mag revolver with trigger and spring work done. Beauty of the 357 mag is you can practice with cheaper 38 special ammo in it.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
