Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to read this I know online forums may not always be the best place to ask silly questions, but I would like some feedback. I figured this is exactly the kind of forum to ask my question.
Back when my LTC was being processed I solicited some advice on my first carry weapon. After asking some people in advance I was sold on the Sig P238. That was until I went to a gun shop and started looking at and holding some different handguns and I think I may have changed my mind or made myself more neutral to the Sig.
Back when I was at mass firearms school they basically did not like the S&W Bodyguard, because they said they are subject to jamming and honestly I felt what would the point of a carry gun be if it jammed just at the moment it was needed. So I listened to people's advice and had settled on the Sig.
For me, if I wanted to go concealed I would wear a flash bang holster or something similar, because with women's clothing being so tight, there are not a lot of places to conceal.
The thing was after holding some different handguns I really liked the smaller size and weight of the bodyguard.
My question is this, is the reputation of the S&W bodyguard warranted from just the one experience? Is the Sig worth the extra that is being charged for it? Am I limiting myself too much? I found a few other 9MM's that were easy to hold as well. Obviously all I could do was hold them, but it was a start.
I don't want to rush and just buy something. I want to do the right thing and have something that will last me for a long time. If someone has a different idea, then I am all ears. I have held and used revolvers in the past and honestly I am not too happy with them, only because I was not very accurate with them. Thanks in advance for any help, anyone can offer!!
