Are you using a pocket holster? Those are key for breaking up the profile of the gun so it looks like a wallet or something similar. Bigger pockets help, too.

Ditto on that. It's a great gun just not a wallet size as mouse guns.

Hahahaha. Just talked to a guy at work today, and he said the SAME thing about the Glock 23.

"You need a smaller gun" lol.

Funny thing is, I thought I was as compact as you could get,lol.

Hey Cassino appreciate that.

Very helpful in protecting myself/family legally and lawfully.

Thanks! Having a hard time finding a cheaper handgun... I was thinking under 100 bucks! They all cost so much. It should just be a small and handy handgun. Nothing big. Needs to feel right when your holding it, so I would prefer one that's not too bulky

Saturday Night Special then. They are pretty small, easy to conceal. Might go off when you drop it, so make sure it's secured well. May not go back together if you ever break it down to clean. But hey, it's under 100 bucks.

Some things you don't scrimp on. Better to not get a gun if you are not willing to invest in both the firearm itself and the ammo/range time and classes to learn how and when (or when not to) use it.

Hi Point, hands down best choice for someone on a serious budget. Ugliest gun ever in the history of the world, but deemed pretty reliable. Ive never even held one, but have friends who bought one out of sheer curiosity. More than a hundred, but they come with a lifetime warranty.

ten times better than a Jennings, or any other approx $100 gun.

Ok, I bought a Beretta U22. Not too expensive but big. I ended up getting it from academy sports. Any idea where I can find affordable Glocks? Seem smaller and more handy, but I checked an online store and they cost at least 500. Don't like their design, but theyare smaller and light. Or maybe a affordable gun range where you can go and rent different guns to try them?
