I prefer double action only semis and revolvers, so if you go revolver a hammerless DAO J-frame would be my choice. S&W airweight 38spl or the more expensive 357s. Kahr Arms or Glock semi autos are also my preference for CCW.

yeah I guess I should've caveat'd glocks, I've tried them out at the range in multiple frame sizes and the grips were just too large for my hands. Plus, as much as I like my P30 I think I'm gearing more towards steel frames for my next.

The G-43, released last year, year before, is a single stack 9mm that is a natural pointer. Most importantly the 'bore axis' on a Glock is relatively low, causing less muzzle flip, and probably less felt recoil.

As for steel, I used to say I'd never own a plastic gun, but that was when mine were relegated to a drawer or my glove compartment. When I began carrying all of the time I began to appreciate the lighter weight. I recall getting an IWB holster for my Browning Hi-Power and brought it to work for my 10 hour shift. After a couple of hours I drove home and switched it out for a G-27. YMMV
