I own several pistols now, but they are not very concealable. So any CCW owners, share with me the make and model number of what you carry and why you like it. That way I can start researching them and finally do a hands on inspection/range shoot at a gun store. Thanks Blackbart and Painsponge 2 Awards

Will start researching them. My daughter is going to take the class also. She joined the National Guard and just got back from boot/school. She has been gone for 8 months. From what I have read, she will just have to do the 2 hour range part of the class, since she is considered active military. At least that's how it is in Ohio. I may be wrong, but the instructors will know. Thanks again for the replies and keep them coming. Awards

Flat, unnoticeable, and you won't lack for power. If you're going to carry a firearm, make it one that doesn't just wound. Lawsuits are best settled between you, and the deadbeat's heirs.

Things to consider, A 9mm will do the same job as a .45 . . . .if not your either a bad aim or your target is king kong and your in deep shit. Also a 9mm will hold as many as 15 rds and still be concealable. I do prefer the .45 as it gets the point across but the size of the gun can be more than most people like to carry Packing a .22 caliber is not worth the trouble when you can carry a 9mm that takes up the same amount of space and has a better "greeting" when it arrives. 9mm ammo is relatively inexpensive and plentiful. .380 is a good round also and the size of the gun is relatively small and has a large magazine. What ever you choose we will expect to see pics posted. Bottom line is Be Safe .. .Be Responsible . . Be familiar with your firearm . . . . . . Always ldoz and little_old_man 2 Awards

Came down to that model and a S&W M&P Shield. The S&W was a tad narrower, but the magazine capacity was only 8 rounds (single stack), compared to the Rugers 17 round (double stack). Both received great video and web reviews. But the added rounds (comes with a 10 round and 17 round magazine) and the Rugers added safety features made it easy to decide on it even though it was $100 more. Thanks again for all the input.
