Lightweight Carry
I am beginning to cycle seriously after a break of many years, in the hopes of continuing to build my cardiovascular endurance and lower body strength without causing too much additional wear and tear on my body. Previously, I encountered all sort of nut jobs on my rides, and I can only imagine that it will be the same or worse now. I have been run off the road by road ragers, run over, dragged, shot at, shouted at and threatened, and had everything from broken bottles to half-eaten cheeseburgers thrown at me.
So I plan on carrying a small, lightweight handgun with me. My priorities are (1) stopping power and (2) light weight. I do not care a lick about recoil or aesthetics. This will not be my regular concealed carry piece, but it will probably be exposed to temperature extremes and lots of sweat.
So far my leading candidates are the S&W scandium models in .357 and the Kahr PM40. I don't think that I need more than 5-6 rounds, but am willing to be persuaded otherwise.
Any thoughts or suggestions on these options or others you would recommend?
