With the recent headlines (VT and BWO here in CA) I've decided to stop putting off getting my CCW permit. I live in San Bernardino County which is almost a shall issue county from what I've heard. My problem is that I only have one pistol...one very old pistol...that I would not want to carry daily. So over the next three months (end of spring and summer) I want to get two or three pistols for this purpose. I am most comfortable (fit) with 1911 style large frame semi-autos, but that will not always be possible. I'm leaning towards a sub compact 9mm or 40 s&w, a snub revolver of some sort, and a 1911.
I have rented/shot several different styles of pistol at the local range...that helped be shy away from a bersa or ppk-too small for my hands.
I was hoping for some good solid advice any could offer about ccw...holsters, how to carry, where to conceal it, expirence carrying any of the above style firearms, and even recomendations for what to get. I'll be working overtime this summer to fund this (still in college-can't carry there:banghead: ) so lets try to keep it around $500+/- each (used handguns in PRK are always priced high so that "used $100 s&w" will be $100 less than a new one here)
