I really appreciate all the comments. I think I've got plenty of homework to do now. I'm going to research all the handguns you guys recommended and then come to a decision.

Keep your choice of preferred ammunition in mind, both for as absolute reliability with your chosen carry as is possible but also with the realization that you may have to utilize some substitute sometime if your first choice becomes unavailable.

As was said previously, consider the availability of quality holsters for the piece, and remember that the usual circumstances that affect the way you carry can change. When I broke several fingers on my left hand a few years back and spent most of a year with them in a cast, I found myself carrying a second handgun for a *speed reload* since my off-hand made fumbling a magazine change a too-likely possibility.

And while working in Atlanta, I found that Georgia state law prohibits ankle holsters- which made that a great place to carry spare magazines instead; I still follow that approach.

So consider the whole package, and both summer and winter clothing, and other personal circumstances that may or may not change, while you make your decision.
