I have different handguns for different purposes, ranging from NAA PUG .22 magnum to a Kimber Pro CDP II .45 ACP. From smallest to largest:

NAA Pug .22 Mag-5 shot ultra small revolver for situation where carrying anything else is impossible or not practical.

Ruger LCP .380 ACP-Everyday pocket carry. I load it with Hornady Critical Defense loads. I forget its in my pocket sometimes. I love and really trust this gun.

Ruger LCR .38 SPL +P-Coat pocket revolver & truck gun. Revolvers rather than auto guns are essential for such situations.

Walther PPS 9mm-IWB carry, my #1 gun in jeans weather. Its light and incredibly accurate.

Kimber Pro CDP II .45 ACP-Reserved for home protection, and IWB when I "really" feel I need to carry a big gun.

Taurus 740 Slim .40 S&W-I don't use it for defense. Its my "cheap, shoot it until it breaks & then throw it away" range gun. It kicks like a mule, the sights are horrible, the barrel is not tight in the slide, it disassembles differently every time, overall difficult to shoot; so its a great training weapon. Amazingly though, it eats all I feed it, and has never had a failure.
