I have Carried for just about 11 yrs as my life was threatend......I started with a Colt 45 auto,a Ruger andhad two Kahr Auto's...The CW9 and CW40.......The one thing I will tell you is to shoot atleast 150 rounds thru them before you carry......Being how they have a offset feeding ramp(the reason they are slim and nice to carry)they need to get broke in real good....I shot around 200-250 before I carried them,I had the CW40 as my main and the 9 as a backup in my veh......
I now carry a S&W 908 in 9mm(i like the 9mm's)...........You need to get one that fits you and your daily activities,you also will need to make some adjustments on how you wear your cloths,if you wear a OWB a IWB,shoulder holster or SOB holster your dressing habits will change i.e.if you wear a size 34 waist you will mighthave to get a 35-36 waist pants to carry a IWB,SOB holsterand be compertable and so on.....
Carry for the right reason....Its not a thing to take lightly.......
