I purchased a 432pd for my first gun, which was used for ccw. I didnt know very much about firearms at the time of purchase and wish I would have went with the .38 for many reasons. I later did purchase a M&P340 w/ CT grips and love it (now my ccw). Im going to keep it around for when I get older and recoil sensative though . Definitely not a bad gun and would recommend it...
