I picked up a little Jiminez .380 for $175. Made in AZ. Action was bad, etc. took it to my local gunsmith, got it worked for $50, now very smooth action. Just as good as an expensive firearm.
Walther PPK/S.
I carry a Taurus G2C 9MM. Excellent gun
I’ll cast a vote for the Sig.
Too bad its single action...
S&W Bodyguard. A great shooting gun. I carry it all the time. Have twice shot the head off of a snake with it at about 10 yards. One shot each time... I mean this gun is accurate. Long long trigger pull to get used to.... but once used to it you will hit what you are aiming at.
The Taurus TCP has been an excellent CC weapon with high reliability at the range, never in actual practice fortunately. Thus, plus the cost is very reasonable.
A lot of good .380s left off the list. A whole series of Browning and Colt from the early 1900s. The Walther PP and PPK, The Savage (10 shots quick).
I have a Hungarian FEG which performs perfectly and cost something like $120 a few years back.
I will also mention how much I like the Bersa’s which the article lists. Also the classic Beretta model 84 and 70s.
Get a Glock 19 or a 45 Semi.
Funny you should post this. I started a more intense practice regiment with my Ruger LCP (not the II). I don’t carry with one in the chamber so I’m practicing drawing, loading, and firing as I walk around a corner towards a target. Loads very easy and comfortable grip, but the recoil is not as much of a problem as it being a small gun. But that’s why we practice.
Went to Cabelas yesterday. They are all out of 9mm, .40 and .45 ammo.
Colt Government if you can find one. Small, reliable and light weight.
9mm is a better round.
I don’t own a gun. I moved to safe neighborhoods to make sure I did not need it. Has the time come for everyone to buy guns?
I bought the Ruger for my wife a few years ago. I didn’t do any research. It just seemed fine. I bought it in the way you might buy a toaster.
My wife hates it because it doesn’t have a safety so I’ve kept it in my car. It’s very reliable and I can throw it in my pants pocket. But I don’t keep one in the chamber, so if I ever needed it I’d have to cock it first.
The ammo problem is nationwide. At least it is citizens buying it this time, unlike the ammo shortage under Obama when it was the government buying it all.

Did you know it’s a known issue with Glocks that holding the gun in “Limp wrist” fashion will cause a FTE?
“Get a Glock 19 or a 45 Semi.”
Is that a Glock in your pocket?
“9mm is a better round.”
460 Weatherby is better!
