Just took my CHL two weeks ago, should get CCW permit in in about a month. Heres my options, a Ruger 9mm P95 with 15 round clips using cor-bon powrballs (large framed, sorta bulky) or my trusty S+W model 60 5 shot 38 special (alluinum frame, light but can't use P+ ammo). I'm more wanting to take it to and from work as I work past midnight and walk out alone. Trying to take many factors into my choice,..
My accuracy is about 225 out of 250 on the CHL test so I think I'm a decent shot.
The revolver is more reliable and slightly bigger punch. Its also alot lighter and smaller. But its less intimidating, the rounds I have to choose from is less, and the ammo cap is alot smaller. Its enough for 1 attacker but if I had more would I be safe?
The 9mm Ruger is more intimidating (it has the same frame as the Ruger .45 cal) and packs a higher ammo cap. Also the cor-bon powrballs will make a mess out of anyone quick. But it tends to jam alot and the weight can be an issue.
Opinions?
