I kinda want to get something small like this (Ruger LCR .22 LR) for concealed carry. I’ve never owned a gun before, and based on my reading revolvers sound more reliable (plus I’ve always thought they looked cool). Went with 22 because of that time ammo got super expensive and 9mm was ridiculous compared to what you could get going for .22.

But is this gun stupid? Is concealed carry stupid? It’s okay if I’m dumb, I know very little about guns other than like the last few nights I’ve spent trying to research a good, small concealed carry.

It’s not stupid if it’s purpose is to have fun at the range.

If you want to cc get a P365 and call it a day tbh

Edit: Just get any of the popular compact/subcompact carry 9’s and you will be fine, there is a reason this is considered the gold standard now - typically the best compromise between terminal energy and shootability with good capacity to boot
