re: Best Concealed Carry Weapon????

There's plenty of great 380's out there that are very concealable, and are great for concealed carry. I've been thinking about getting one, but I still haven't felt comfortable enough with a .380, but that's just me personally.

You can still find some really nice concealable 9mm subcompacts. "Thin is in." S&W just came out with the new M&P Shield, and Springfield should be shipping the XDs 45 soon, with 9mm and .40 to follow.

40 is a great caliber, but it's a pretty high pressure round, which leads to pretty "snappy" recoil, especially in small/light frame guns. You've got power but you probably won't be able to get accurate shots as fast as you could with a 9, .380, or even a .45.
