I have several handguns, not all something I'd consider carrying for defense.
For example, while I love my Colt SAA, and the .45 Colt would certainly be a great defensive round, it just ain't gonna cut it as a concealed carry. Too bulky for the way I prefer to carry (concealed, and IWB). Though it would elevate "pistol whipping" to great heights over a plastic-fantastic!
I also wouldn't carry my Beretta 92FS, with the other options I have. Significantly wider, not to mention the slide mounted safety/decocker isn't carry-friendly to me.
On the subject of handguns that I DON'T have, I wouldn't carry a pistol without a manual safety.
What personal or practical reasons do you have to NOT carry any particular handgun for self defense?
