Kahr PM 9 One of the smallest narrowest and lightest 9s you can carry and still have a practical hand gun. Since you will be carrying it far more than using it (hopefully never), go for a piece that is easy and comfortable to carry.

I thought about it. It seems like too much of a hassel.

If I carry, I open carry.
More of a deterent and easier to draw.
I also use low velocity rounds.
I want to punch through a Chest, not a wall.
And any need to fire is going to be very close range anyway.
Like nearly eye to eye.
Dropping someone at 10 yards would get you 10 years in most States.
Dropping someone at 5 feet gets you a get out of jail free card most times.

My home has been invaded in the past.
My StepSon and his friend suffered a very bad beating.
(The Wife and I were in Hawaii at the time)

The Guys were caught and convicted and spent 2+ years in the Pen.
I spoke at thier sentence hearing.

I told the Court that should they ever so much as set a foot on my property when they get out?
I would take the greatest pleasure in putting a bullet in thier heads.
And if they ever messed with my family when they got out?
I would hunt them down and make them vanish!
I also told that same Court that my property was now a Free Fire zone.
I would shoot first and worry about things latter.

Like I said, after the first few weeks I seldom carried it, then maybe only on trips. The one dang time I really could've used it, I didn't have it...I'm a dang good shot, but don't know how I would react if I had to shoot at someone, moreso if they're shooting back, probably shoot my foot off.

If you truly intend to protect yourself with a Firearm?
You must train with it.
Reaction should be a natural thing.
I have been fired at and the training saved my life more then once.
