I'm partial to the Glock 18 which, of course, cannot be had for anything over 
here.  Failing that, my choice for concealed carry is the 26 because it 
works, 
shoots just like the bigger Glock (and every bit as well) and, best of all, 
at 
at least one range in town the ammo is free to cops and department employees.
I'm also partial to a Ruger .357 that I got from my father - but with a 4 
inch 
barrel, it isn;'t easy to conceal.
