To narrow it down you need to define the question a little more. It sounds like you intend to carry concealed. Home defense is an altogether different matter. What is the threat? Do you walk around on the street a lot or are you in your car when in strange surroundings? Is concealed carry permissable in your state? Where will you carry? If you fear muggings perhaps mace and a knife would be more appropriate, held in the hands and ready. Perhaps you should move.
