Gun advice needed
I'd like some help in choosing a CCW pistol. I think the biggest caliber I can go with is 9mm because size is a big (no pun intended) issue. My concerns are concealability and cost. My budget is limited and the person I'm asking for is small. Purse carry isn't an option for her most of the time.

I don't know much about guns, but my forum friend Gratewhitehuntr does.
This is what he had to say on the subject, a couple of years ago:

That's so funny, I was reading that very post last night. I haven't seen GWH here for a while. I think he's not so active here any more?

Nope. He was absent for a while, then came back, and then dropped off the map again. Originally Posted by joesixpack

Oh, and did you ever notice anything peculiar about this smily?

You can't go wrong with a pistol, double action,pistols can't jam, 357mag or 38 special is good, SW,Ruger,Tauras to name a few. They are not complicated and easy to carry!

Check out the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380. It was suggested to me by a local police officer. It is small and lightweight. Very user friendly as well.

I think the Smith guns are a bit out of my price range. I may have to bite the bullet and pay over $300 but I'm hoping I can find something used for less. Originally Posted by Theseus
