I own only one handgun, a USP Compact 9mm, and carry it when I can (student so most of the time I go out I am going to campus).

Partly this is because I wasn't in the financial situation to differentiate between carry and range guns. Though the USP is a very nice compromise between both. That being said, it is very bulky and heavy, and can be a pain to carry- particularly since I can't just carry all day (thanks to campus) its like do I really want to go to the trouble of putting the holster on just to run to the store? For this reason a .357/.38sp snubbie has been on my "to-purchase" list for a while. I would love something I could literally "throw in the pocket" for a quick trip to the store or gas station.
