The K I S S principle is an term service people will be familiar with. It's Keep IT Simple Stupid. I mean NO disrespect as that's the actual terminology the armed forces uses. it basically means the simpler something is, the less chance there is of something screwing up, and you CANNOT get simpler than an revolver or DAO pistol.

everybody thats has replied so far has been absolutly right! take your time and try as mainy as you can get your hands on. when i bought my first carry gun i must have rented/borrowed 20 different hand guns, you'll know when you find the right one. i went with a springfield XD 9mm (4' service) and will be getting another XD in the subcompact version this summer. buy the one that suites you and shoot as mainy round through it as you can afford, so if the time every comes when you need it is just a natural reflex.

The gun must fit you and be pleasant to shoot, and it must be something you will carry. I got a Glock 23 as it's the most powerful semi-auto I can carry given my build. Later I bought a Taurus 85 in 30spl because I found their were too many occasions I left home empty-handed because the Glock was either too heavy or too hard to conceal given what I needed to wear. Between the two, I rarely leave the house unarmed anymore.

I don't know how you are built, but I bet with the proper equipment you couldconceal that Glock 23. A quality holster(not uncle mikes or fobus) and aquality belt(won't come from WalMart)will make all the difference in the world.

I carry a Glock 23, everyday...If I'm going to carry, I want a big enough gun when and if necessary...

As has been stated here...
1. It must be a comfortable gun for you to use and carry...recommend trying out a bunch (as there are a lot of good choices)...
2. It also depends on how you dress...if you wear a suit with a coat you can conceal a larger handgun...if you wear a T-shirt, then you are going to have a hard time hiding anything larger than a pocket pistol...

I carry a Colt Combat Commander .45 ACP in a inside-the waistband holster...in winter it hides easily under loose fitting sweaters...in the summer I nearly always wear a sports jacket / suit coat. The suit coat / jacket also allows me to carry it in a horizontal shoulder holster.

Other than the 1911s which can get heavy, my recommendation is the Glocks...either the G19 or G26 in 9mm, the G23 in .40 S&W, or the G30 in .45 ACP. I also like the Beretta 92FS, Taurus PT-92, and the Sig P226s but have difficulty concealing them without the coat/jacket.
