I don't want to feel like I am trying to interlace my fingers on a gun too much. Just want enough grip to where my pointer fingers are on the trigger.

I am waiting on the Gun Show to hit us in April. It's during draft weekend which is around my birthday on the 27th but I really want to go and check it out and get a feel for what's out there.

I want to get something to CC with at some point. Maybe a Ruger Security 380 or something, but, man, the grip on that thing is itty bitty. We'll see I guess.

Agreed on the girl and her gun saying too. My wife wants to start out with a P22 to get comfortable. I work overnight's here and there and I would feel better if she had something.

Would rather have it and never have to use it on somebody Vs. being caught dead in a situation wishing I had one. Appreciate the feedback!

It's impossible to not like a 1911.  Have you shot much with a revolver?  I personally find them fun for recreational shooting.  Try a Colt Python (357 mag) or S & W 29 (44 mag) in 6'' or longer if you get a chance.  

For CC, don't be too quick to go with a 380.  There are loads of options in 9mm that carry/conceal very well, and the stopping power is far superior.   

The important thing to remember is different guns for different applications.  For home defense, concealment isn't a factor, so there's no need to go with a sub-compact.  Get a mid to full-size piece that's easy to hit the target with.

Thanks for the advice. I love the look of the revolver. I kind of have an eye or prefer the retro looking guns or styles. Snub nose, mid and long barrel. Pretty cool options.

I grew up watching action movies and spaghetti western's and western's in general with my old man.

The Dirty Harry gun is sweet looking. Agreed on the 1911 though. I feel like I am hell bent on owning one of those. It'll be awhile before I get comfortable with CC.

With CC though I would prefer a 9mm for sure. Maybe need to get into a habit of having a belt, holster and shirt to cover it up on me if possible.

That's something ill give my friend credit for. He preaches practicing and resetting your shots from your holster just for that reason if you're out and it's a crazy situation unfolding.
