oh jezz thats a big list.

First decide on what round you want .38, 357, 9mm, .40, .45 ect.

then go with guns. also start renting guns to find out which one suits you best. here is a "small list"

-S&W J-frame revolver (more $379ish-$700 depending on model)
-Glock
-XDcompact
-XDsub compact
-XDS (single stack .45)
-1911's
-S&W M&P compact
-S&W M&P sheild (single stack 9mm or .40)
-LCP
-LC9
-SRC ruger series

ect ect

How do you carry a 1911 .45?
Honest do you Concealed carry? or just going by internet talk?

first why do you need a .380 baby bullet? I have carried my full size 1911 5" barrel .45 in the summer in shorts and t-shirt and can conceal it just fine. It has to do with the right holster and belt.

Brandon(Redrocket) for instance was at my house for a party with about 25 people he was carrying his FULL size XD.40 and he is a skinny guy and no one knew, till we started talking about holsters. Its all in the hostler/belt.

Click Me..... << click that it will take you to the post in this thread that has my 1911 4" .45acp in front of my Crossbreed holster. I can wear it all day with no fatigue and actually forget its on my hip. That is my prime carry gun all the time... I also have a s&w 442 .38+p airweight revolver. my smallest gun and smallest caliber hand gun, I hardly carry it. I would never choose a .380 when you can have for instance a XDS single stack 1" wide .45acp which is slightly larger. I'll take real take down power over small ammo anyday.

XDS vs LCP .380
