Tim,

Suggest only 'best for you'.

I prefer a S&W M38 snub, but I wear a 5.5" Redhawk. Or a 1911. Or many others..........

Best is too nebulous; perhaps what you want to do first is UNDERSTAND, specifically, WHAT you want to accomplish.

Are you L.E.? Will you wear this gun always, or have choices? What, specifically, are your real AND perceived threats? Are you automobile-based, or are you normally walking? What environment will your defense gun be used in? More...............and more info will get you better opinions on what --MIGHT-- work best for you.

Help us..........make sense?
