Out of several (well, maybe more than several) handguns, my favorite carry pieces are 1) in winter an FNP-357 Sig and 2) in warm weather a Colt Detective Special loaded with 110 gr. Hornady +P. The FN carries 14 rounds that are approximately equal to a .357 magnum, but IMHO there is nothing that shoots like a vintage Colt revolver. The Colt is also small enough to simply slip into a pocket for easy carry.
