What kind of safe will you buy with your pistol? And when you are traveling with your pistol where do you keep it in your car like when you go into a restaurant?
Owning one of those things brings a extra level of responsibility and effort to keep it out of the wrong hands. You go to a motel and where do you keep it? Cars are vulnerable to theft and so are motel rooms.
Holy crap! I never knew. What on earth would we ever do without your intellect and wisdom? You sound like the dumb weatherman on TV when he says, "It will be 10 below tomorrow so bundle up." No kidding?! I was planning on going out in shorts and sandals if he hadn't told me to bundle up.
Dingus seems smart enough to know to keep it locked up, but IT DOESN'T HURT to have many reminders. I just saw ANOTHER story where a guy left a loaded gun around, some friends visited and a young boy killed himself.
The statistics show having a gun increases your risk of death. Unfortunately many gun owners are yahoos and not careful. There's hundreds of accidents every year.
It's like saying don't text and drive. Yeah everyone knows it's a bad idea but humans need constant reminders.

No, everyone thinks rules are for other people.

With training and practice hundred plus yard shot with a pistol is very possible
My brother-in-law hunts moose in Alaska with a pistol.
It's some sort of break-action, single-shot thing that shoots a rifle cartridge.
It's not really a concealed-carry type of thing.

So, does the fact that you chose not to have a gun mean that you self-identified with that group then?

I see a person as yourself, DMT, being a wheelgun guy.
Now that's a possibility for you, Milk That Is Toast.
With those wheels, you could even haul it up a route for total protection.

THIS is a wheelgun
The Vulcan cannon shoots 100 rounds per second.
By comparison, the A string on a guitar vibrates at 110 Hertz (110 cycles per second).
The Vulcan cannon sounds like a very loud Bronx Cheer, only faster.
The Vulcan cannon is not suitable for concealed-carry.
The recoil force is approximately 3200 pounds.

I've had a few narrow scraps over the years where some firepower backup would have been nice insurance
I'd like to hear more about this statement. But if you insist on a pistol I would recommend a Glock 44 40cal subcompact. Very light single stack.

Huh? I do have guns and I am careful. You know you can own guns and not be a gun nut and be in favor of reasonable gun laws right?

The instructor that I trained with for years to the tune of about 3000 hours, was a former Marine Recon, scout sniper, Army Ranger. I saw him zero in on a steel Target with his, I believe it was his 1911 but it may have been his 92F, that was 200 yards away and within three shots was hitting it every time

Thompson Center makes those in a variety of rifle calibers. Better hold on tight.

Ahhh...they're not too bad...
(16" rifle barrel with a scope!)
Way less recoil in 30-30 than a S&W 360SC in 357mag!

The old saying is a truism: The best gun is the one you have when you need it. I'd agree with Brian in SLC and for occasional self protection, get a .357 Magnum revolver. i.e.:

An old school cap an ball pistol could be fun. And there is the extra challenge of making sure it doesn't chain fire, or jam up on you. I kind of miss my old .44 and brass frame Navy .36.
edit; great for Civil War re-enactments!

When I was in the outdoor industry a lot of sales reps from the Southeast bragged about the pistols they were packing on road trips. They were, to a man, windbags who would run from their own shadows.
People who pack and brag are very often less then admirable representatives of intelligent apes.

I love the Sig P226, or the small single stack version P225, but wholly cow, the price!!!!!
I've got one of those. Beautiful mini version of the 1911A .45.
But it was pricey . . .
EDIT: Correction. It's a P238 with rosewood grips. Sweet.

When it comes to price don't be a fool. The cost of the ammo you put through the gun will dwarf any cost difference at the getgo.
Get the best gun FOR YOU.
That said, even the FBI is going back to 9mm. There are some wickedly effective 9mm cartridge designs now.
Those who vote Sig get my approval, but if you think a 226 is pricey check out a Legion!
Nonetheless I did a side by side, Legion vs 226 and it wasn't even close. Just as in the '90s the 220 was the best oob .45acp , so it now goes with the Legion as a service pistol.
For CCW the Sig 938 with nite sights is king.
That said, I'm so accurate with a 1911 .45 that a Kimber CCP will do nicely.
