"You will notice that I haven't told you what to carry. And I won't. The gun to carry is the gun you WILL carry. In my case, it's the three guns I mentioned above. I didn't put in calibers, models, and such because they are all MY personal choices. Yours might well be different. One last thought, then I'll let you go for now. Guns are not only dangerous, fun to shoot, and useful tools, they are valuable investments. If you maintain your gun according to the instruction manuals included with the gun, or available from the manufacturer if missing, after the initial "It isn't brand new and un-fired anymore" value drop, guns hold their value if you buy decent ones. Buy the best one you can afford that fits your hand. Engraving, pretty colors, and custom embellishments aren't necessary, but quality IS. So buy the best you can."
