You'll go through was most do....first you'll buy for magazine capacity. Then you'll learn how big and bulky those are. Being in Fl, you'll go micro...as in LCP, great pistols especially for summer months and temps. I still carry mine most days and it's a great little partner when the temps shoot north of 80. I can't imagine carrying anything larger when it gets hotter than the fires of algore down there. Buy the gun that fits your lifestyle best.

You'll be surprised how well a LCP in a fobus holster will conceal with a pair of shorts no belt and a untucked T.

For your first the best choice for HD and CC is the 40c IMHO. Great trigger, reliable, extended and compact mags and priced right. And believe it or not the manual safety isn't that bad of an option. Then start saving for a LCP or other micro 380.

If you're hung up on the 40 you may want to eventually pick up a single stack 40 and real full sized 40.
