Remington R-51, light, aluminum frame, 9mm, 7 rounds, designed for carry. No sharp hooky corners or anything to snag up, grip safety automatically disengaged with held, dual sided mag release. Preferred for better cover.
Or a 3.5 in barrel Springfield 1911, 45acp. Preferred for potency.
But with winter coming and more clothing meaning easier covering, and nervousness around the world I think I will be adding Hi Power to selection. For more usage between reloadings.
BHP was inherited from Dad but its just so much more comfortable for carry and concealment than 5906.
If its choosing what I need to keep me off a stainless steel table, I will go with what I have and know and know is reliable.
If you want something solid, reliable, but low cost look into Hi Point. About $200. They are near indestructible and lifetime warranty. Youtube them if you don't believe that.
