RE: Concealed carry considerations
For years my personal choice has been a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug in .44 special loaded with Cor-Bon 165gr hollowpoint.. In the winter it is easily concealed and ready to use in an instant. In the simmer time I sometimes carry it in a boot holster. I reciently purchased a Ruger LCP .380. It is a little less powerful than I generally like but with it's sub compact size and light weight it is a pleasure to carry. I made a pocket holster and with light weight summer clothes I can wear it in my pants pocket and have quick access to it. I have it loaded with Cor-Bon 90gr JHP.

If you intend to wear a holster my choice is the Kimber CDP with the 4" barrel in 45 cal. When wearing a jacket in cooler weather I like my S&W 642 in my pocket. No hammer, no need to take it out of your pocket to shoot. Might need a patch on your jacket pocket.Practice with 38 special and carry 357Fed. Hydra Shock, 158 gr.PD rounds.

I may just get a Bobtail Commander sized 1911. Kimber, SA, CZ (Dan Wesson) all make good firearms. However, I may step up a bit and go with a Fusion Firearms model. Their prices certainly beat Ed Brown, Wilson, Baer, Nighthawk and Volkmann. We'll see.
