Sometime in the near future I plan to get my CCW permit. In NC, youre required to take a traning course first... So it would be best to get the gun I'd prefer to CCW first, so i can pratice with it.
For some background... I'm most familar with revolvers. I've shot them all my life, and I'm comfortable with them. I've gave some consideration to Ruger's SP101 Line, in either .357mag or .38 Special. I dont know what barrel length would be easiest to cary, and if a shorter barrel would have negative effect on the round. I'm not familair with Taurus or S&W's handguns, but I'd consider any of them.
I'd consider any well recomended handgun, but for me the two most important critera are reliability and affordability. No Kimber's please. Thats well out of my price range. I'd like to stay in the ballpark of $500, or under, if possible.
I'm not opposed to auto's, but i know little about them. If i were to get an auto, I think i would go with something in 9mm.
I know next to nothing about methods for carying concealed, what types of holsters to use, etc.
I do know that it has to be reasonably comfortable to cary, otherwise it would eventually start getting left behind in the car.
