(I guess many of us have varying personal pistol protection preferences.)

I personally have no need or desire to 'carry' a handgun (routinely) or to have a 'license' to do so.

Still, I strongly rely on some of my handguns to be ACCESSIBLE for personal defense purposes: Travelling, camping, home (and away) protection ... whatever.

I'm not interested in 'custom' jobs or larger caliber, sub~compact~micro handguns - or comfortable with any bullet bigger than 45 Caliber - or tolerant of any cartridge more powerful than .357 Magnum. (recoil)

What I do like is a handgun that is for me 'right size', one that stows away with some convenience, AND a handgun that 'fits' right and 'feels' right. (One that I can 'shoot' right.)

Just an outta-the-box, durable, reliable, good quality, and accurate handgun.

Three of my favorites I rely on, are a CZ 40-P, A Walther P-88 C (9MM), and an FN Belgium 40 Hi-Power. (NO polymer.)
