I started carrying not quite ten years ago and my first carry gun was a Smith & Wesson 642-2. I did hours and hours of research before making that purchase. It ended up carrying so well that I bought a 442-2 as an "on deck" gun. I later replaced those two with the 642-1 and 442-1. The 642 has been my main carry gun for most of that time except for those times I could only carry something like my LCP (I pocket carry almost exclusively). The down side of the 642 is that it is not that pleasant to shoot and only carries five rounds.
Several months ago I decided that I should maybe think about moving to something with a higher capacity. I tried a Glock 26 for a while and couldn't find a way that I liked carrying it. I then tried the Sig P938. Wow, what a little minx that gun is. It's sexy, is more accurate than I would have ever thought and is an absolute pleasure to shoot. It's only three more rounds than the 642, but hey, it was a start. So, I started carrying it and it just about disappears in my pocket. I've somehow accidentally knocked the safety off a couple of times which bothers me a little, but the trigger is heavy enough and is covered by the holster well enough that it didn't bother me enough to stop carrying it.
A week or so ago I decided to stick the 642 in my pocket for old times sake and it has been there ever since. The little gun feels like it was made for my hand with the rubber boot grips. I had some real nice checkered rosewood boot grips on it but switched them back out for the rubber ones. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to comfortably carry some speed loaders to go along with it.
Is there a gun that any of you have that has that irresistible Siren Song going for it?
