I think John has the LCP, it's a nice little carry gun. The Shield and LC9 are also very nice. I prefer a 9mm as ammo seems a lot easier to find. A few places around me seem to have a hard time finding 380. Just last night at Walmart I picked up another 200 rounds for my 9. You may want to think also about where/how the gun could be used. I agree with having a smaller CCW,
but you may want something a little bigger at home (capacity wise). The one I keep by my bed is a FNX
Yes on both accounts. LCP for my pocket and a 9 for the house. One nice thing about the LCP is the small size and combine it with a pocket holster it looks like a wallet in my pocket. One of the advantages is in summer even with shorts and tee shirt no one knows I have it. That's especially nice coming in to an empty launch ramp at night. Even though the pocket holsters are nice for summer, getting access in a hurry is a bit awkward. I much prefer something else at times that's easier to get too.
I almost bought an LC9 but I tried it 1st and it hurt my hand so I passed on the deal. Since I've had carpal tunnel surgery I don't have much grip and a full size 9 is much more comfortable to shoot.
Like you guys I didn't really want to carry and for the most part I resisted. I'm not a gun nut or anything but the world is just getting a little crazier.
