There is NO such thing as an effective "comfortable" handgun. Period.
End program, full stop. None. The smaller you go, the more comfortable
they can be to carry. And when you finally need it..that small pretty
little comfortable pop gun may get you killed. Shrug..fact of life.
Anything under a .357 is a hope and a dream. Lets hope you get your
dream and not a nightmare.

Shrug..just a heads up

Good post! I agree and would pack a .38 at the least. I'm WAY partial to
wheel guns for simplicity. I would consider an auto loader if I were to get
trained to the point of excellence. However, I'd take a .22 over a rock. I
understand the amount of practice and muscle memory to become proficient,
most people don't.

I dunno, I've had revolvers jam. All it takes is something hanging up
the cylinder, in front or behind. I had a S&W M10 that would lock
halfway through the DA trigger pull. I replaced several parts until it
quit that. I've had a couple of 1911s like that also, never did figure
one of them out.
OTOH, a Glock, like them or not, work every time (in my experience)

My S&W 5906 has been flawless with many many rounds through it. The last
Glock I tried I was shooting a mix of generic FMJ and FMJ tracers and
the Glock stovepipe jammed on every tracer, as well as bouncing the
other shells off my forehead. I was also shooting the 5906 with the same
mix and as usual it was flawless.
