[QUOTE="RetCapt, post: 730265, member: 7102"] Good advice I've heard is that you should get a gun that you can carry with a good measure of comfort. If it's uncomfortable, you'll be tempted to leave it at home. A .22 derringer in your pocket will be more effective than a shotgun that you leave at home! I can recommend the S&W 642 Airweight series; with a pocket holster, they fit in the front pocket of jeans or Dockers. The concealed hammer prevents snags when you draw it, and it could even be fired from within the holster in your pocket. 5 shots of .38 +P. I also sometimes carry a Kimber Ultra CDP II with Crimson Trace laser grips. This is a light weight .45 and shoots very well. It goes into a slider holster on my belt and hides well under an untucked shirt. Take a look at [URL="www.bond-arms.com"]www.bond-arms.com[/URL] also. I got to shoot one recently and it's worth consideration. Only 2 rounds of ammo, but big rounds! You might consider beggin' or borrowin' various guns from friends to try out. Rent some of 'em too if you need to. That way you'll have a feel for what each offers. For training, you might talk to the folks at H&H in OKC. A bit of a drive from Sulphur, but it might be worth your time. I took the pistol class from Will and was quite pleased with the results. Good luck in your search. Read a lot, ask lots of questions, and take your time to find what you need. [/QUOTE]
