Welcome to CalCCW. You'll find that a lot of people here carry the Kimber as mentioned before me. I'd recommend that you find something that fits comfortably in your hand and that you can work the controls fairly easily. Go to Turners (
Turner's Outdoorsman) and try some on. Then find a range that has some that you can rent, e.g., Firing Line or Evans.
I'd recommend getting something in at least a .40S&W caliber or higher, like a .45ACP. If those are too powerful for you to comfortably fire, then a 9mm would work too. Look for the compact models or even subcompact models, since they are easier to conceal. I personally like Kimber and H&K, but there are a lot of other good brands out there too - Glock, Springfield Armory, Smith and Wesson, etc. I won't tell you which one to get, since that's like telling you what kind of car you should buy. Try them on, you'll find one you like and that is in your price range. Good Luck with the CCW!
