Thanks TampaBaySean for the reply. I probably have average hands. As for a caliber, I've shot 9mm many times when I was younger with my fathers 92 Baretta (I think that was the model number). I didn't like that gun because it felt very, very heavy. He also had a .32 I believe, but can't recall and it's been nearly 20 years. I don't recall that one much, but it wasn't as big and heavy as the 92 he had. Just recently I rented and shot a Glock 9mm mid-size. I liked it and got comfortable by the time I had 50 rounds through it, but definitely need more time behind it. I do a lot of reading and listening to what people are saying and why. That's helped me kind of put ideas into place. As for carry style, it would probably be a combination of conceal carry and home protection.
