Picked up a new in box unfired keltec p-11 at the pawn shop for $250. Traded in the 40 towards it so only gave $100 cash for it. DAO trigger and small gun for 10+1 capacity. I love it. Trigger pull is long but once you shoot it you get used to pulling back slack during recoil and being ready to pull when point of aim is back on target.
Running low on ammo, nothing new there, lol. Looking at CTD, they have 640 rounds of UCW in spam cans for $127 before shipping, best non corrosive deal I can find.

hey guys. i've talked with screwed a little in pm chat but i'm looking to buy a handgun soon. I'll turn 21 in the end of May and soon after will apply for the concealed weapons permit. with where i work being a not so safe area, my cousin and the other shop owners around me have the CCW and suggested i get it when i can.
anyways, i'm looking at getting a reliable handgun that isn't very obtrusive, not super heavy but still have a nice heft to it along with having a presence when seen. My cousin has a Taurus 738 i believe, it has a good feel to it but isn't my style. I'm a big guy, i want a gun that matches me.
any help guys?

Weatherby Mk V custom (safari show stock) .257 Wby Mag. left handed. Built in germany in 1964. It was only the 3rd one built in this caliber in a lefty. Stock is currently at Weatherby getting reconditioned. (Ill post pics when it comes back) Simply beautiful peice of craftsmanship. I had the guns history traced and certified by the Weatherby archives. Ill get the paperwork back with the stock. I bought it at a show in 1986.

I second blazex's advice. Try and go to a gunshow or gun store and get a feel for all the different ones there are. I would recommend a Glock 23. It's Glock's midsize gun so it will conceal a easier than the full size but it still has room for a full grip whereas many of the smaller guns leave your pinky finger with nothing to grip. It's chambered in .40S&W but is easily converted to 9mm if you want to practice with cheaper 9mm ammo.
I haven't shot an M&P but I've heard several excellent reviews for it. There are a lot of police agencies switching to it from the Glock since it's made in USA.
I would recommend sticking with either 9mm, .40s&w or .45acp since they are the three most common calibers and are the easiest/cheapest to find. 9mm will be the easiest to shoot and while it may not be as powerful as some of the larger cartridges, it is easier to hit what you're aiming at. No use owning the most powerful if you can't hit your target. Caliber choice is an endless debate and if you read any gun forums, you will no doubt encounter some fairly 'heated' arguments over which is best. In the end, shot placement is more critical than how big (or heavy) the bullet is.
