I do not like the small guns like the Kel-Tec or LCP .380's at all. They just feel too awkward to me and are much harder for me to shoot well with.

I shoot better and guns like a 1911, HP, Glock, or Springfield XD.

I have also never had any problems concealing the larger guns but that may be largely due to physical size/frame.

Anybody else the same way or am I just "special" ( watch the wise ass stuff please. I am very sensitive whistle )?
I'm with you. I've regularly carried full sized, all steel, 1911s, S&W K-Frames, and currently a Glock 17. My ability to shoot it well takes priority. First I find a handgun I shoot well (which is usually a full sized one), and then I seek ways of carrying it concealed, not the other way around.
