If I move back to Houston, I'll definitely get a CCW, and a smaller gun for the purpose. My problem is I don't really care for small guns. My next will be a Colt Delta 45, or maybe a Remingtom 1100 12 gauge. I don't have a shotgun.
If you like revolvers, the Ruger Sp101 is a very viable car&carry piece!

It's not huge, but it sure doesn't feel small... and I would hate to be looking at the wrong end of the barrel
