Ed,

I've done a lot of research on this very subject and the Kahr PM9 or CM9 are hard to beat for carry. They are small in size, very thin and as light as they come. I've purchased three pistols specifically for carry and every one has been significantly smaller than the last. They don't do you much good if they are so uncomfortable that they get left behind.

Unless you are very proficient with a handgun and practice regularly, a shotgun is a much better choice for home defense. I am proficient and do shoot often, but still choose a shotgun as my primary home defense. That said, if you do decide on a pistol, a full size .45 like the Glock 21 or the SIG P220 are hard to beat. They are both high quality, reliable, high capacity pistols with lots of punch.

I'm sure Willie will chime in as well.
