Her sister has a Bodyguard. I sent them both to a firing course, each with their guns. They both ended up liking the P938. Now sister-in-law is wanting to sell hers.
I don't pack but when I did it was my old 1934 Barretta. It was a
little clunky but it fit my hand, I could hit things I could see and
it went bang every time.
The only time I packed in Fla, it was my KP90, but it was legal ;-)
I haven't "packed" since I determined Ingerfool was not on his way down
here with his lamebrained full patch buddies, but if I were still
packing, it would be a small DA revolver, like the Ruger LCR in .357
MAG. I think the small revolvers are more reliable than the more
complicated semi-autos. There's nothing you have to do with the revolver
but aim it and pull the trigger.
Revolvers, particularly 6 shooters are pretty thick. It is tougher to
conceal.
In my mind there's an additional thing about revolvers as a "carry" gun
that I don't like. It's too easy for them to accidentally fire, IMO,
especially those with an exposed hammer. The hammer can become caught
on clothing or inadvertently cocked when retrieving from a holster.
At that point it is ready to fire. I like the simplicity of a revolver
and I think it's great as a home defense firearm but not so much for carry.
For carry purposes a pistol can be made much safer with no round in the
chamber until it is racked. That's how I carry mine in the rare
instances that I have it on me. The extra half second required to rack
a round into the chamber is worth the added safety in my mind.
