Hey everyone,
This is my first post, so please bear with me. Also, I'm sorry if this has already been a topic or thread!
Well, here is the story: I live in a small country town, with a very small population (heck, we just got our first stop light in the county last year). However, just last week, only yards from my property line, a man shot and killed a neighbor woman (she was stopped at a stop sign and he randomly decided to shoot her). This whole incident shook our little town to the core, and has made me decide to purchase a concealed carry weapon for myself. With that being said, I am extremely short (5'4), and am worried about carrying too large of a handgun.
I was looking into the Ruger LCP, Taurus 738 TCP, and the Glock 26. I would really like to purchase the Glock based on reliability and customer service, but when I looked at them they seemed fairly thick.
Any other gun suggestions (I have done a fair amount of research, but any other recommendations would be great), holster types, and advice would be great.
-John
