A little Smith and Wesson 9mm with 2 spare mags (If I'm wearing a coat) a little Smith and Wesson .38 with one reload or,if I can't comfortably fit either of those on my person, a tiny NAA .22 Magnum revolver (I got one for my Dad for his Birthday and it's suprisingly accurate)

If I am wearing a coat all the time, I'd keep a full size pistol on me. Depending on my mood like a USP in .45 or a Springfield XMD in 9mm.

In ideal circumstances, I'd have a Browning Hi-Power in a shoulder holster with no less than two reloads. The climate is good enough here to the point where you can get away with wearing a jacket all year round except for maybe the summer. If that isn't comfortable, I'd probably go with a Glock 19 as previously stated by numerous others in a shoulder or IWB holster. I'd really have to try everything out to see what I like th emost, and right now I can't do that. I feel that a .38, while small, is underpowered with both capacity and ballistics, but it's a lot better than nothing, and has done well for some people. IMHO, you should always try and get the maximum firepower with a little more than minimum concealability.

I think to CC you should have a rotation of guns, make sure you have a small gun for hot weather, jogs, any time a full size is not practical. Something light enough that it will be confortable, big heavy pistols tend to be left at home. People will say "hm, not going anywhere risky, ill be okay without it." Carry what you can at the time, rule one of a gunfight....have a gun.

Plus, if you live somewhere hot, like gulf coastal Texas (God, why is there no winter here?!?!?) you never really wear a jacket except for in December and some of January, so you can't carry a full size

k9870's got it right, it's not the same everywhere and seasons change, and so you should have a few guns for different weather conditions, but for my area, my ideal gun is a full size.
