I hope I never have to use this

What kind of piece do you have in mind?Â
Although I don't live in Cincinnati, I work there - at night no less - so I figured having a compact 9mm for the glovebox would be prudent. So far I've looked at a Taurus G2C and a Ruger EC95; both are less than $250 before taxes and fees. Trying to keep my price point below $400, but people late to the party can't choose which music they dance to, I suppose. I'm open to suggestions if you have them.

I would suggest go to a range where they rent guns to fire there, try out different models and find one that fits you. Don't cheap out on it if the SHTF you want to have a reliable weapon and not have to worry about jamming or misfiring. Look for one that you are able to be consistent as in grouping pattern. Most important safety first and foremost good luck and hopefully as you say you never have to use it.

I can’t comment on the Taurus, but I’ve had good luck with Rugers in the past.

I know 2 friends with a Taurus, actually one is a co-worker. Haven't heard any real complaints. I was actually looking at a lightweight 9 with capacity for a lady friend.  Stumbled across a nice little colt - commander I believe? Checking it at about 1k though.

The Ruger I was looking at was nice, and it fit in my hand pretty comfortably.Â
Only downside is that the EC95 is a 7+1.

My favorite hand guns are Smith & Wesson revolvers. I carry an Air weight, titanium frame 44 magnum with a 2" barrel. I hope I never have to use it...mostly because it  will kick like a mule, and ruin what's left of my hearing. I used a Ruger .357 2" barrel revolver for my CCW license about 10 years ago, and was pleased with the accuracy. My .357 police revolver is by far my favorite to fire. Extremely accurate, and smooth action. I've never owned a semi automatic hand gun. They don't "feel right" to me.Â

I agree, I’m pretty much a revolver guy myself.
 I’m guessing that I owned over a 100 pistols over the years, and over the last 10 years I’ve become a snob.
Just give me a gun that works, and that’s a revolver.

A revolver is an interesting thought. I'm wanting a CCW gun for my car, specifically to keep in the glove box. By chance, to you also use a speed loader with your CCW revolver?

Do you plan on a shoot out?

With the way the world looks like it's heading, would that be out of the realm of possibility?

To make a long story short, a pistol is for an up close and personal confrontation.
If you think you need to fire 20 shots to neutralize a threat, I would suggest spending more time practicing.
The only time I wished my Colt Python .357 had a larger capacity, was when I took it on an Alaskan fishing trip.
Fortunately, the bears left me alone and I didn’t need it.
On a side note, I asked my guide about pepper spray for bears.
His reply, “I don’t want a bear to cry...I want to make him dead”!

If you think you're going to be in a shoot out while driving to/from work, then quit. Or carry a AR-15 with a nice big clip of ammo. Also some body armor.

I've thought about getting a revolver one of these days, as a back up in case my walther jams (semi auto). But even though "it will never happen"...
a shootout vs two shooters in a store...six shots is risky, and I can't imagine trying to quickly reload. I can drop a mag and add the new one really quickly. That's about 20 shots.
I really want to start studying krav maga this summer.
Been wondering how much my little .22lr pistol would do in an assault situation - one antifa with a baseball bat, maybe I could shoot the bat out of his hands... depending on the distance, if I only had sweatpants and a tshirt out walking somewhere.
A .22lr pistol is a nice little target pistol. I also have one. But don't rely on it to stop anything serious.Â
