J-frame 38spl.
In context of including hot summers/clothing, farm/shotshell use, and being foolproof.
Shoot my bobbed alloy commander with more authority, and value the compactness of the sig 938, too, but there's no getting around the do-all of the little j-frame.

Glock 19 is where the conversation begins, and should end.
If concealment n hot climmates is an issue, Glock 43
There is nothing the 10mm can do that the 9mm can't do to a person, and the 9mm is easier to control.

I don't know that I like my Glock 22 more than anything else but it is what I'm most comfortable with, carry the most and what I train and teach with at our company. I could be happy with it for my one SD handgun.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I'm partial to my Glock 17. But, I've been mulling the idea of chopping the grip to G19 length.

Tough decision...sentimental favorite would be a J-frame because I carried one for so long, but if I could only have one, it would have to be something bigger. The rebuilt BHP below would work well, I guess. Bob ![[Linked Image]](http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii27/RobertOIF2/DSC_1527_zps2283d8c5.jpg)

The Glock 19 has been surpassed by the G43 imho.

I agree unless the conversation involves the words "only" and "self defense." Travis

I have a J-frame 357 that I mostly shoot 38's in and a S 938. For me the 938 is pretty tough to beat in regard to concealment and shoots very well.

I only own one concealable handgun worthy of being called a self defence, it is a 1911. It is reliable and I can carry it all day every day.

For purely self defense against other humans, the G17/G19 would be the top of the list, by a long shot.

G19 for me as well, but the G43 is growing on me quickly.

If for concealment, the XDS has really impressed me.
If for outer carry, or bedside, the Xd40, Glock 22/23/19 would be up tere.

very easy to conceal, reliable and (for me) THE EASIEST GLOCK TO SHOOT ACCURATELY... G43 all the way ![[Linked Image]](http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh178/bankayhoodlum/guns/G43/5D74C757-E283-41BB-8B68-92593BCD2F44_zpsepkjwd6a.jpg)
