How do you choose the right gun as a primary carry piece? I suggest that you look for a handgun that is substantial in capability and shoot-ability, but small enough that you can carry it most of the time when dressed casually.

Even amidst the constant discussion in the self-defense and “tactical” community regarding the looming threat of terrorism, I continue to urge focus on handgun skills as, inevitably, if the armed civilian finds himself/herself at ground zero, that is what you are far more likely to be armed with rather than a long gun.
