Which self defense gun chambered in a real self defense caliber is the most controlable for you? I would say that .380 is the minium and if you think the it should be a smaller caliber, your nuts! .380 or better yet, 9mm as the minium. It can be a revolver if that is what you CCW.
The reason I asked this is because a few years ago, I realized that there are some awsome guns out there that are just too big or too powerful to handle well in rapid fire with one hand or weak hand. I carried my SIG 220 and had much respect for it but when I had to shoot it weak side one handed rapid fire, I found out the these normally mild mannered pistol turned into a Lake Trout in my grip. I was starting to lose my grip by the time the mag was empty. I put my shots on target but it was not a good feeling.
One handed, my choice is the Kahr K-9. I can really get a vise like grip on this one and even in weak side one hand rapid fire shooting, I have total control.
There are some guns out there that I know I would have a hard time trying to shoot one handed. Double stake .45acps must be tough to control for people with medium to small sized hands.
