What do you carry??
My s&w sigma 9mm is just too big & heavy to carry in my purse. I THINK I want a ruger LC9. I've also considered a ruger LCP .380 but I've held one & even with the finger extender, pretty much only my pointer & middle finger grip it, plus it's so light weight. I know it & the LC9 are both going to be hand cannons, but the LC9 is heavier & the barrel is a bit longer so I feel like I could control it better. I'm a great shot with my current 9mm & my husbands .40 so I'm not worried about control, just holding onto it I guess? All 4 fingers grip the LC9 since it's a little bigger, & I reeeally like that it has a safety & lets you know when there's a bullet in the chamber. But from what I understand, .380's have less recoil & I do like that I can fit a concealed .380 in my pocket or even bra (with a safety holster) whereas the LC9 is a little big for that. (Girls have small pockets, lol). Now I LOVE the sig saur P238 rainbow .380, & all of my fingers actually grip it with the extender, but I like the price of a ruger better than a sig, lol. Suggestions on a concealed gun? Is there a big difference on the recoil from a CCW .380 & a CCW 9mm? I don't want a .22 so don't even ask, lol. I don't want anything with a hammer & am leaning far more towards a pistol than a revolver. Thoughts & opinions would be greatly appreciated. 4951
