I wish it were not true, but the most important characteristic of a concealed carry handgun is its weight. This is for pragmatic rather than practical reasons. The first thing that will cause you to leave your gun home—on the day that you walk into a bloody mess at the Dry Cleaner's—is the gun's weight. When it becomes onerous, you will rationalize the need away if just heading out to grab a gallon of milk. If I say that you need to carry the biggest, heaviest gun that you can possibly manage, well, that's good, practical advice. But it is better—and far more pragmatic—advice to tell you that you should pack the lightest and most compact gun of adequate power that you can find. If you have the self discipline to pack the better tool—then do it. If not, then carry what you can.
