Any pointers, Inexpensive, easy to carry. Not looking to be a collector, Only to defend myself if the situation presents itself..
FishingCop said:If you aren't familiar with handguns, then your best bet is to stick to a revolver. I would suggest that you look at a 5 shot .38 revolver, detective's special, double action - S&W, or maybe a Taurus (cheaper). You won't have to worry about the potential problems associated with an auto - jams, stovepipes, failure to feed, keeping it clean, etc. A revolver will fire everytime you pull the trigger without fail and you don't need to worry about clearing drills, etc. Much safer and more reliable - for a novice....

...If its not easy to carry you probably wont.
