I have seen it mentioned many times that the 1911 should not be carrying by those new to concealed carry due to it's manual of arms. Frankly I don't see what's so hard about it.

But I do know first hand that the j frame revolver definately is not a beginners gun. For some it is easy to learn and others not so easy.

The j frame requires dedication to practice and patience. But it can be done.

My everyday carry is an M&P 40 compact with a j frame in the pocket.
