I carry a Ruger LCP - I jog and it makes a light carry in my fanny pack. I have been stopped in the country (before I carried) by 2 big rottweilers and one went for my knee and the other was circling around to my back....while I was on Rollerblades!!!
I just knew I was in deep weeds if they were to have knocked me down....no way I could get up on rollerblades and they would have had me.
Anyway, I carry the little 12 oz Ruger and have been to the range a couple times now trying to get good with it......it is hard to control so I need more practice. But it is my first pistol and I really like the convenience of it.
I sometimes carry it in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster that sits in my front pocket and it makes no imprint and weights next to nothing to carry and is very small...and potent if needed.
