We had a good conversation going on in AI, but we needed to keep that thread on topic.

What caliber and gun do you prefer for self defense? Does your opinion change if you would have to carry that gun around hidden?

For home defense I have my XD45 and my Taurus PT101 in .45 ACP and .40 S&W, respectively.

But as far as carrying them, both are way too big. The XD has a long ass grip, and the Taurus is too fat and heavy. Open carry they would be fine though.

I sold my Kel-Tec P11 in 9mm, which was my car gun. So now Im left w/o a small carry gun.

Right now Im looking at either a Glock 26 (9mm) or a Ruger LCR. Im starting to lean to the G26 though.
