Cool!! Thanks for your service...
When I made this thread, I was looking for a pocket pistol. But its all good, cause I already have my new gun now and its a 38 special.
Basically, two of my buddys have mini 9s, and I've shot both of them, and I couldn't find one that I liked, and erm.. The thread gave me a lot of directions to go in, but somehow I still wound up passing on all of them.
The smallest round i would even consider for self defense is the 40 S&W.
I don't know how you feel about the 38 special. I have a Glock in 40 but this being Florida.. "day in, day out, ccw of a big pistol is a pita."
I bought some Federal Premium SD ammo in 38 today. I specifically asked for, "not +p"
I'm feeling, "pretty well armed." But hey, I'm not living in, "Chicago, Phoenix, or Mexico City."
