i dont think a 9mm will do me much good in a self defense scenario but who am i to say? as i stated ive never handled a gun before.

whats your input?

forgot to mention this will be the gun used for CCW, so do you think i should go with sub compact or just compact? how are you handling/concealing either? one easier than the other to conceal? ive been told (i work for LVMPD), that in a self defense scenario, you'd better be awfully close to the person so a long distance shot doesnt matter (hense the subcompact possibility).
