Well, it is redundant, but not annoying. I don't think there is any lack of people here ready to express their opinions. In my opinion, the best CCW varies by individual. Since we're talking about "concealment" you have to consider body proportions, how you wish to conceal (on body, purse/handbag, etc.), what type of firearm you are most comfortable with (semi vs. revolver), size, weight, and even budget. So there is no "best." For me, I carry an M&P 9c. It has the reliability, stopping power, capacity, size and comfort that fits me. However, if I were to do it again, I think I'd go with the .40 for the greater stopping power and now that I've carried a while I'm sure I'd be able to comfortably holster and conceal it. But overall, I'm pleased. I just pray everyday that the only time I unholster it is when I put it back in the gun safe. Oh...and welcome to the forum!
