Need opinions on a new sidearm

[.270]

There is a place called teds just east of home depot in qc. Google them. I'm sure they can help. Best thing is to take a buncha ammo and go to the desert. If your lcp is jamming, oil the heck out of it. Maybe get a can of gun scrubber and hose it out. Then get a can of aresol lube and drench it internally. Rack it several times and shoot the heck out of it. Might try some pantheon lube if you can find it. Its "green", synthetic, works better than anything I've ever tried. They have a website. My wife's lcp has never hiccuped. She shoots it all the time. Luckily she ain't hit me yet. Lark.

Ruger LCR or SP101 depending on what size and weight you want.

This thread is a little old but I thought i would put my 2 cents in also. I greatly enjoy shooting pistols. I shoot 9mm through 460S&W in semi autos and revolvers. I think the three steps in choosing a sidearm are platform (semi auto or revolver), caliber, and last but not least carry system (holster). I read through most of this thread and there has been a lot of advise on platform and caliber but the right carry system makes a big difference too. For daily carry i use an inside the waistband holster with a glock 23, 27, or 22. For out in the hills either hiking or driving I carry a ruger alaskan in 44 mag. The problem I've had while out in the hills is hip and shoulder holsters get in the way of my backpack. I tried drop leg holsters but I'm not a fan. Then after a lot of research I found the guides choice holster from Diamond D custom leather in Alaska. The guides choice holster has worked out great for me. It keeps my pistol readily available but also doesn't get in the way. The ruger alaskan i carry in it is a heavy gun but with this holster i can carry it all day and not even notice. I'll attach a link to their website if you're interested.

A little late too, but both my wife and I carry .40 caliber Glocks. They are model 23c, so they are compensated with gas ports to reduce kickback and get you back on target. The 23 is the mid=sized frame, as it is not the largest size, nor the smallest. Both of us can rip a clip of lead into a target without a hiccup, and neither Glock has ever jammed. As much as I love revolvers, I usually call for bear alone, and love the rapid release of lead I can produce with my Glock versus any of my revolvers.
