I was prone shooting steel. A guy was behind me using my spotter and he blurts out "SNAKE!"
It was sidewinding it's nasty ass straight toward me on that concrete pad. When I got clear of it I was going to shoot it with my .40 but I wanted it to get off pavement before doing so.
The other dude unloaded his Beretta on it. It was totally fugked.

Travis Now that is what they call "Sporty". Venomous snakes, little 25 bullets zinging off the concrete and you executing a ninja roll, dive, leap etc. to get up outta the midst of it. Had that been me, I'd have taken a ricochet through the sack, a snake bite to the a$$ and the heart attack would have killed me grave yard dead.

Who's all using crimson trace or similar lazer sights? Lasers are great until they aren't. Which is 90% of the time. Don't bother. Travis Good advice right there...

I vote G43 or Shield with Travis. I've always used IWB leather for my G36 but I'm going to try the Vedder Light Tuck or the G Code Eclipse for my 43.
You can carry a G19 or G36 IWB but sometimes it's nice to have a smaller option like the G43. That's where I would start. I seriously doubt I'll need more rounds than I will carry in the gun and extra mag. I'm not starring in an action movie.

Springfield XDS 3.3 is my choice. As small as a J frame Smith. 6 rounds of .45 ACP. Controllable, accurate, easy to conceal, with no vices.

There is a lot to be said for a stone reliable pocket gun, for times when the P229 might be a little much; or stow in a side pocket for times when both guns might be just enough.
Mine is an old Ruger LCP. I've shot it enough to know it's reliable and man sized targets are no problem to 25 yards.

It's time to go shopping, and I'm far from a pistol guru,
What's the current trend, and preferred action?
Size will be determined but likely looking for a mid to small frame, small frame for concealment but large enough for control as I enjoy shooting time.
Double action or Single? pros and cons to each please.
Caliber, .380 to .40
Lets spend some money......... I would not buy a pistol without having an idea regards the holster that I was going to carry it in and would try not leave the store without trying it on. I have settled on Glocks as CCW pistols and have become familiar with their action, have had SIG's and HK's and nice 1911's but for a sub $600 pistol the glock is hard to beat in a lot of ways. The Smith MP's are about the same, 9mm is most popular and cheaper to practice with, and as we have recently learned adequate for bear hunting. I know many like the exotic, the expensive, the arcane, but the gun of the Hoi Palloi seems to be G19.

G19 good choice. I often need something smaller depending on dress/ occasion. Then, the G 43 or others come out. The Shield or M& P are good choices. But, one cannot train with a G43, if 150-300 rounds are to be shot in a short time. A number of people train with the G 19 or like, with minimal shots with the G 43. I likes them all including non- striker fire guns. Sometimes carry a 6" python in an extreme cross draw Mernickle holster, for special occasions, like church dinners, etc.
