I joined up on this forum and I've lurked a little bit but life got in the way, so here's the story. Late last year/early this year I purchased a Kel-Tec P-32 which I've been more than pleased with over the past few months, but my fiancee has taken a shine to the gun and I've decided to let it be hers--kind of an engagement present from me I guess. Well, what with my state coming into a hair's breadth of passing a constitutional carry bill, I've decided to pick out a new carry gun for myself, a sort of wedding present.
I've got some pretty specific needs, however, and I thought I'd ask for opinions from ya'll first. Here's what I need:
-Something with the ability to be cocked by hand rather than a DAO. I've got rheumatoid arthritis which make it difficult for me to pull a double action trigger if the weather is too hot, too cold, or too humid.
-Something with relatively low recoil(.38 special or .327 magnum maybe) for the same reason.
-Under $500(I'm broke, with student loan payments on the horizon and a career of adjuncting to look forward to)
-With plenty of aftermarket support for holsters and such.
I've done my own research, and I'm considering either a Charter Arms Undercover, the Undercoverette, or the Ruger LCR. Ammo recommendations would be very appreciated.
