my daily carry is my trusty little .22 magnum(WMR) Black Widow. Because I have more encounters with snakes and small critters than meth heads out in the country.

Not much bigger/heavier than a pocket knife. 9 ounces. Fits in the palm of my hand. I even have the cool little red laser to help aim something so small. It's just too frickin awesome not to have in my pocket most waking hours.
Don't scoff at a .22 Mag, it'll poke a nice hole in something.

"Some of the most concealable and easy-to-carry pistols come from North American Arms (NAA). Started in the early 1970s, NAA makes a series of .22 WMR mini revolvers that have applications as deep-cover concealment pieces and backup guns. They can even serve as primary self-defense tools if need be. In recent years, cartridge manufacturers have really stepped up to the plate by providing .22 WMR cartridges with modern bullet designs. They’re formulated for use in short-barrel handguns and have given this round greater effectiveness, making it more viable for lethal-force situations."

You can put different grips on it to make it even smaller:

I have bigger ones for other situations, but this one is my little baby.

I have several to choose from, depending on the job, because the right tool for the right job. If you're limited to one, the opinions of others aren't going to mean a hill of beans because you're talking about something that fits your size, what you wear, what feels comfortable in your hand, and what you're most accurate with. Go to a reputable range that has numerous rentals and try different brands, sizes, and calibers...and don't rush the decision. Go several times if need be. If you're going to carry, make sure it works for you the way you intend it to. You can get a good sense of reliability from reading online, but you can't get the important factors outlined above by reading or getting opinions from others. And definitely stay practiced with whatever you buy. Don't set it in the drawer beside the bed or in the vehicle glovebox and expect it to save your life after shooting it the day you bought it and never again. The one thing I will say is that if you aren't going to practice regularly and keep it maintained but are still determined to have one, GET A REVOLVER.
