Just passed my carry permit class today. Yeehaw !!!
Anyway I got a score of 100 on my shooting test and I can shoot fairly ok I guess. Ive shot pistols a few times in my life but I grew up shooting long arms mostly. I dont know my different weapons as well as I should. I now want to start carrying for reasons of self defense from humans and possibly a rabid coyote, bad dog, etc...when I go walking.
Im looking for a pistol that is pretty small and easy to carry around, even maybe a shirt pocket on my overalls.
Also very important is the EASE of disassembly to clean and then reassemble. Of course I want dependability but I dont think I want a revolver because I was thinking that the cylinder would be too bulky. The Ruger .22 LR that I have now is great for plinking, practice, etc...but it is very much a pain in the rear-end for me to take apart and reassemble because of my disability.
So I need easy to clean(disassemble&reassemble), dependable, and would like to have a common caliber like 38 ??? You tell me.
Thanks
PS...I just watched a video on breakdown for a Ruger LCP 380 that a police officer suggested and it looked easier than my Ruger Mark III
