What matters first and foremost is how well it fits in your hand and how well you can control it. If it is too big (or small), feels awkward, etc, then odds are, you're not going to do well with it. I carry concealed on a regular basis and I have for ~ 20 years, my first choice is my G22 and my second choice is a SW .357. Revolvers don't leave those pesky casings behind.

BTW, if you like cheap shots, get a 9mm, if you want a bit more stopping power and like to own what a whole lot of cops prefer and for many of the same reasons they carry them, get the G22 (ie, .40). Get some extra 15 round mags for it, for obvious reasons.
