I have 11 or 12 ARs and they are a mixture of 7 8 9 twists but I seldom shoot anything bigger than 62gr.

Me too, but I have to train with heavy bullets. That said, as good as 77 OTM's are on humans, I always wonder what a light v-max like varmint exploder would do to an unarmored human body.

Not very deep penetration but you hit someone in the right spot and that's devastating.

Yup, that's its job, low penetration, high expansion/explosion... think of dealing with that as a Doc.

So... I was at the Dulles Expo Center Gun Show today.
I finally decided on a carry weapon.
I was just about to go with a Ruger LC9s Pro when the guy said to have a look at S&W.
So...
Got a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm with three mags (one flush, two extended).
After rebate - $288 including taxes.

Thanks to all for the advice
