      I'd think your poll would be more meaningful if you just left it at "favorite caliber." With that said, I went with 9mm.

          Whichever caliber your CCW weapon is chambered in. Some will say get a small caliber handgun because there is less imprinting, but with advances in holster design, I've seen full sized large caliber guns carried.

          He is an anti-gun guy and he said. "Well, you can't eat ammunition". I replied with "When I'm starving to death with a case of ammunition, who's door do you think I am going to knock on?"

                what would be the best type of holster for this? Or I should say what's the favorite that you've seen? Belt or shoulder holster?

                      Awesome thanks man. I'm hoping to get a USP .45 in the near future, so it looks like i'd need size 16. Yours doesn't leave a noticeable print?

                        it depends on the type of shirts you wear, if you wear loose shirts that arent tucked in its not noticeable.
