Scott, there is something about the feel of a Kimber super carry inside the belt. If I lived where you do, it would be a real option.
But alas....I live amongst the mobs, so it's high capacity with extra mags for me....
I spent 2/3 of my life in New Orleans, including during the crack wars and during years with the highest murder rate in the country for many years running. I have never seen a mob hold ranks and close on the shooter once the gunfire started. The mob running away in 360 directions like points on a compass was usually more dangerous than the actual gunfire, although a couple or three unlucky ones may get hit. A two shot derringer could turn any mob that I have actually witnessed reacting to shots actually being fired. Even my friends and family who stupidly bugged in during Katrina never had to fire a shot to make people go away. Now, the guy on crack who wants to die and comes at you with a knife is going to need a CNS shutdown, so the capacity to do that plus movement, etc., are important. I have never even heard of multiples of those at the same time with the same death threat like the mythical zombie apocalypse. Unless you made the Hell�s Angels or some drug cartel mad at you, the chances of any CCW person dealing with multiple people who want to stay and fight after the CCW guys starts shooting is so minute as to not even waste brain cells over.
All things being equal, I can see going with the capacity. But, almost everything in life is a trade off of one kind or another, so, I would go with the preferred platform, and capacity is the extra gravy.

You just opened a new can of worms. What is the best dress for concealed carry? Jeans, cowboy boots and snap shirt over a tuckable holster? Shorts, tank top, and tennis shoes, with a belly band holster? Or worst of all, a business suit with shirt and tie, wingtips and a shoulder holster ?
Knee length wool winter coat. The 16 shot 90mm fits under it nicely.

You need 16 rounds if you plan on missing a lot. I carry a .45 with 7+1 myself. I'd bet money I can hit a man at 50 yards easily, much less at 7.
I disagree, plenty examples of mob violence occurring in recent years. Not outside the realm to possibly find yourself in the middle of a large [bleep] out these days, and there's no such thing as too many bullets there.
Two things never asked for by a person after being in a gunfight, a smaller gun and less bullets..........

Cops picked 15 shell casing from the neighbors lawn a while back. On another morning I counted over 30 evidence markers, mostly shell casing in a near by cul-de-sac.
I don't know the full details of either, but neither was a "two shot" affair, and I would of certainly wanted more then a derringer if one the receiving end of that wrath.

Thanks. The least a man can do is share his mistakes so somebody else won't make them.
Sad fact is that most people refuse to learn from mistakes made by others.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I (for one) appreciate you telling us that. It helps me understand "where you come from". I don't live there, but I did...for thirty years. But, I've worked "there" for 32 so it helps me relate.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

And please know it's deeply appreciated. Most of us can do a yoeman's job of taking care of ourselves, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty room to learn!

I carry mine in my thong. They can't tell the difference.

You wouldn't happen to live in Aurora, would you?

Thanks for clarifying that your preferred carry gun is a micro derringer. ;-)
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

LT, thanks for understanding. It was never my intention to live "there". 15 years ago myself and my then girlfriend, now wife, built a nice new house on the outskirts of the Metro area in a diverse, but working class neighborhood. It was all new construction, so that kept out the riff raff. After the economy and housing market crashed, many of my regular Joe working class neighbors lost their homes. They were bought up by investors who then rented them out section 8. Since then there's been some "interesting occurrences" in our area, more interesting then I like.
Needless to say we are house shopping, my wife can't wait until we are able to move to a less exciting neighborhood. We are looking real hard at southern Weld County.

Once flew with a fella that got his ass shot down one day and was ejected on impact. He awakened face down in the dirt with his right forearm under his chest, hand on the butt of his issue S&W .38 revolver. It was loaded with FMJ ball ammo.
He was getting poked in the backside by bayonets amidst hysterical Vietnamese laughter and made a choice based on the premise that he was not going to wind up as a POW. He rolled over onto his back and shot all three of them before they could react in meaningful fashion. He said all shots were center of mass in the torso, double action. Uncle Ho's heroes did not move after they hit the ground he said.
He and his gunner were extracted a few minutes later after a call to "higher" authorities on his EMRG radio.
If you see him soon, please let him know he did that all wrong.

I wish you the best. Until then be safe and carry LOTS of extra mags.
