Get a revolver, an automatic and then a shotgun. All 3 can be had for under a grand.

To each his own. But for personal carry I would recommend something very small or you won’t be caring it very often. The first gun I bought for carry although small was uncomfortable so I bought another. While it’s small in size it’s also small in caliber. However it fits in my back pocket wallet holster and no one will ever know it’s there including you weighing in at little over 9 ounces. Besides if someone attacks you it’s almost always for your wallet. Go ahead and reach back and get it for them. Ruger LCP .380.

Wow, that's tiny. Doesn't it want to jump outta your hand when you fire it? Can you shoot a pic of your hand on the grip to get an idea? I like the size and stealth but those little guns always feel "jumpy" to me.
If your a homeowner looking for a gun to hide under the bed for protection, Then you need a Point and Pull Gun. Any 12g shot gun will do the trick. Now on the other hand if you are a trained SS agent then a 22mag is the gun of choice. They are looking for a spot in the head only a guy that shoots every day could hit.. So My point is,,, get what fits your needs.. Look at that jack wadd at the school board meeting in florida that missed 12+ times...(I dont even think a shot gun would have helped that sorry ass..).. The fact is, In the heat of the moment even a trained marksman can be off his target. Get a shot gun and use a Slugg...

who me... I live in washington..... LOTS of gun nuts out here.
It's actually not that bad. But then again its not a gun that you would go to the range and shoot the snot out of. It's a carry gun and nothing more. My Kel tec pf9 jumps way worse. Here is another picture. Two fingers hold it. Next time your at a gun shop pick one up and hold it. Again I got it for carry and I carry it everywhere because it is so small I forget I even have it.

I really like the small size. Problem with forgetting is one I encountered years ago with a small "belly gun". Always carried and often forgot. Had to go to court to pay a traffic ticket. Got to the metal detectors and reached in my pocket and "remembered" that I had forgotten something in the car... Could have been ugly. I stopped carrying that piece after that incident.
Still I like the size of that gun, I'd like to see what kind of kick it packs. Looks like it would fly outta my hand.

I carry a Kel-Tec P 3AT that is very similar to the Ruger. I purchased the extended magazine for a little added length. Even though it adds only one round it helps alot with grip.
