You know guys, we are all looking for that one that carry's like an LCP, shoots like a CZ Shadow or Colt Gold Cup, hits like a 29 Smith, and holds two dozen rounds. Oh, and it needs to sell for $500��. Sadly,I think we're out of luck, at least until the Phaser thing from Star Trek comes on line. In the meantime it's all about compromise. The best handgun to defend oneself with will always be the one you actually have with you….ALL the time. A good, solid, heavy and accurate handgun is great at home for SD. If you can comfortably carry and conceal it, go for it. Whatever we choose to carry it has to work for us individually. Choose wisely.
