[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 803862, member: 423"] And about the comfortable comment, make sure you shoot a gun before you cross it off your list. Sometimes a gun that feels really comfortable just holding, is NOT when you shoot it, or vice versa. Also remember that for the same caliber, a heavier gun will have less recoil than a lighter one, so small for CCW is a trade off, lighter weight, easier to carry, but harder to shoot comfortably and accurately. Depending on how small your hands really are, you may want to find a single stack gun, or a revolver. And for carry, unless you go to something like a full size 1911, Glock, or large frame revolver, CCW is completely possible even if the gun is not a tiny one. And, some people do carry full size 1911s and Glocks. So, you can carry whatever you want to. It's more dependent on how willing you are to dress around the gun, or how serious you are about carrying an adequate gun. ie, if you wear tight jeans and a muscle shirt, then you may not be able to conceal anything larger than a peashooter, but wear normal fitting jeans and a loose tshirt and you can carry just about anything you want. If you wear a sport jacket to work every day, the sky's the limit. I can carry a Glock 19, Sig 228, Kimber 4" 1911, or a 3" Ruger GP100 under a size L Tshirt with shorts. I'm 6'1", 180lbs. One other very important piece of advice, the holster and especially the belt, can make a huge difference on all day comfort when adding a 2 lb chunk of metal to your belt! Any other specific questions ask away! [/QUOTE]
