Congrats Mikie. I took my CCW in 2004 and it was then 2 days 8 hours class rules and safety and 6 hours range. I carry a Springfield Armory EMP 9mm, strips like my 1911 Colt 45 cal.
1911 to bulky to conceal. Look into the EMP kind of pricey. I had a Walters PPK ala Bond, cal to small, EMP is about same size as the PPK. Good luck and be safe.
