I'm almost 21.
I figure it's a good time to start thinking about what I might like to carry. Only thing is, I know very little about concealed carry weapons, carry options, and so forth. So that's why I made this thread. (Most of my firearms knowledge is directly related to my interest in military history, where carry carrying a concealed weapon doesn't really come up.)
I want to know more about:
- Autoloaders vs. revolvers
- Carry options of each type
- Most popular handguns of each type
- Calibers
- How to carry safely
- How to successful conceal a weapon legally
- CCW wardrobe?
I'm looking for a mix of both technical data, as well as personal stories.
I'm not really looking to "copy" others, or their choice of weapon; I just recognize that if a particular firearm, holster, or other combination of things is popular, it's popular for a good reason.
A few things to keep in mind:
- I'm right-handed
- I'm a bit overweight, if that affects concealment
- I live in MA, meaning there are some handguns I won't be able to buy
- I hate when the grip on something doesn't fit my whole hand, so please don't suggest little pistols that don't have room for all of your fingers. It's just a pet peave.
Here's what I have been considering:
- S&W Model 60
- Ruger SP101
- Walther P99
- Sig P232
- Sig P226
- Sig P229
I'm open to pretty much anything you guys are willing to share.
