Choosing a handgun for concealed carry is as personal a choice as it is a practical choice. Practically speaking, you may be able to shoot the black out of a target with a full-sized 1911, but you may have a hard time carrying that pistol concealed. Practical means finding the right caliber, a weapon platform you are comfortable with and a gun that you will diligently carry. Plus, it must be within your budget.

The most popular calibers are typically .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. You should be able to find inexpensive training ammo and self-defense loads in any of these calibers. There is a great diversity among weapon platforms ranging from double-barrel derringers and revolvers to semi-automatic pistols. The snub-nose revolver also ranges from traditional styles like those from Smith & Wesson, Charter Arms and Taurus to models made with modern materials that offer less weight like those from Ruger and more. Semi-automatic pistols run the spectrum from small, true pocket pistols from Kel-Tec, Ruger, Beretta and Kahr to slightly larger compact designs.

Before purchasing a concealed carry weapon, handle as many models as possible. Here’s a gallery of popular concealed carry handguns to help you get a jumpstart on your personal defense.
