First CCW

I think Adam is on the right track. Your first carry gun should be simple and safe. I, too, recommend revolvers to most people who ask for such recommendations. However, if you find the thinner, semi-auto too much to resist, consider double action only (DOA).

Remember, the best carry gun is the one you have with you should it ever be needed. Too large a gun will likely end-up in the safe at home.

For revolvers, consider a S&W Model 38, 649 or 442.
There are many DOA semi's available, but don't overlook the Kel-Tec P-3AT or P-40. Any one of the revolvers above can be purchased, used, for less than $350. The Kel-Tec even less.
