What are some good guns that you can secretly carry that are not too large, yet pack enough power to ward would-be muggers (ie petty theft and/or aggressive people).

Gun recommendations for open carry are also welcome, just please state them as such.

I have a Concealed permit,but I always open carry.I just have the permit,because in Alabama,it allows you to forgo background checks when buying at most places.I am not really a pistol guy,I carry an old S&W .38 police model with me,and a very small/light .22 carbine rifle,or an AR,depending on which vehicle I am driving.
That said,Kel-Tec and Ruger both have a very nice,very light automatic that fits nicely in your back pocket,available in .380 and 9mm I think.

Glock 43
Smith and Wesson Shield
Smith and wesson 442 or 642
S&w model 60 .357


Most important is get a gun you are comfortable shooting and can carry comfortable. holster choice for CC is important too. Don't skimp on the gun that could save you or your families life one day.

Glock 43 is a good choice but offers one less bullet than the Walther PPS M2. Highly recommend it. One more bullet, better grips, and trigger is great (probably a wash w/ the glock). comes w/ extended pinky finger mag and regular short mag.

For years I carried a Glock 27 in a Galco IWB holster and thought it was perfect. Then I bought a Glock 43 and discovered Milt Sparks holsters. For the next several months I looked like an idiot constantly checking to see if it was still there. It's the easiest gun to carry concealed that I've ever owned.

Love my shield 9mm and would recommend it to anyone.
I'm anxious to shoot the shield 45. Anyone grabbed ahold of that thing yet?

Watch Palmetto State Armory for Black Friday deals, the last two years they've had one with night sights that would normally be $750+ for $500. Fantastic gun

You might want to work on the mental/psychological aspect first. A responsible gun owner does not carry for the purpose of scaring people they perceive as threats. Don't draw a weapon to de-escalate a threat that has not risen to a lethal force situation. Being too quick to brandish is what can make things much worse, very quickly.

My current 2 are Kimber Crimson Carry 2 with the 4" barrel, and the Walther PPK/S. I have been looking at getting a Shield 9mm.

Kimber is 8 + 1 in .45
Walther is 7 + 1 in .380
Shield is 8 + 1 in 9mm

I am of the opinion that it is more important to be comfortable shooting your CC gun than it is to have the biggest caliber. I originally didn't plan on carrying .45 but, of all of my handguns, I shoot the Kimber the best by a mile.
