I have never carried before. I know that everyone is going to have an opinion on what caliber, and what weapon is best. I also realize those opinions are going to be as diverse as the amount of manufactures and types out there. I am not interested in arguments, or starting a war on what is best. Instead, I would like to offer my thought process for choosing a gun for me for CC/OC/Home protection. I would however like feedback (so this helps me choose/rule out guns.)
I am not a fan of revolvers, so I will rule that out. –For no good reason either.
A friend of mine suggest a Glock “X” (Can’t remember which one.) He tells me they just work, period the end.- Not sure I like them.
1st on my list is a 9mm Walther PPS. It’s narrow, compact, fits nicely in my hand, and the Girlfriend could handle this weapon as well (I believe.)
2nd is a Walther P99 9mm. I really like the de-cocking feature that it has. My thought would be to put 1 in the tube, de-cock, and then have a harder trigger pull. (I view this as a safety feature.)
3rd is a 9mm compact XDM. I like the fact that you can change the clip and have a larger handle for target shooting. I also like the palm safety not to mention it’s a cool gun.
SO… what considerations should I take assuming I will only buy 1?
