OK for starters unless you are a very experienced shooter I wouldn't even go with an automatic, most of the people here are obviously not very experienced.

The problem with an auto is do you carry it racked and ready or do you wait to rack the slide until you need it? If you carry it racked and ready you are more likely to shoot yourself unless you have trained yourself extensively with the weapon beforehand.

All in all youare better with a reveolver for concealed carry, something like the 5 shot Taurus .38 Special is an outstanding choice.

You also have the added psychological bonus that your adversary can see the hollow point bullets staring at him.

I have both a Walther seni auto and a Taurus revolver and for concealed I do prefer the Taurus revolver
