Hey guys,
I'm 20 years old, turning 21 next April and I'm starting to save for a handgun. I've been shooting firearms since I was a kid, my grandpa bought me my first .22 when I was 10 I think. Since then I've shot everything from a .22 to a 50 cal.
I'm trying to decide what I want to get as far as a concealed piece. I'm leaning toward a compact revolver right now, but really would like some opinions from you guys who have been carrying for a while.
My main concern is finding something thin. I dress very casual when not at work, and I would like something I can conceal with a pair of shorts and tshirt on. I probably wont be carrying this on my person very often, but I would like to have that option if I wanted to.
So far I'm looking at a compact 357 revolver. It would be versitile enough to shoot .38's when I want to plink at the range or teach my girlfriend to shoot, but also able to pack a punch if I wanted to.
What are your thoughts? Auto/Revolver? Caliber? Brand? I know a lot of these are opinions, I just want to hear yours.
Thanks!
