There’s no reason you have to spend a lot of money on a concealed carry gun. Pennsylvanian @variable2two packs a very affordable SCCY CPX-1 (see Foghorn’s review of the similar CPX-2 here). Long story short, a pretty good gun for not much cash. And who doesn’t like saving cash?
“who doesn’t like saving cash?”
Politicians.

RF and his Cabots and Wilson Combats and fancy foreign sports cars.
Then a little lower, you have all those guys shilling for $2000 skeletonized Glocks and telling people to add RMRs, threaded barrels, compensators, and even suppressors as an EDC.
My philosophy for a defensive weapon is to spend as little as possible while getting the most necessary functions, and never get too attached. A defensive gun runs the risk of ending up in a police evidence locker and then “lost” (you might be able to sue back for the value), or possibly stolen if you leave it in your car or in a janky little handgun safe that can be pried off with little effort.
If a cheaper gun is reliable then by all means, carry it. Remember, you’re going to lose a gun you use for self defense in the system.
Senators complain about how hard it is to get by on $175,000/year! Well that’s what the job pays, idiot. Why did you take it?
Power, prestige and lots of money from special interest groups would be my guess.
That and insider trading (like they raped Martha Stewart with) is both legal and everyday business for them, how do you think Senators always retire rich? Plus a heaping helping of plain old fashioned corruption.
It’s becoming hard for me to look down my nose at those SCCY pistols… at a little less than $250, they’re very popular in my shop… to say nothing of the wide palette of colors I get if that sort of thing is important to that customer.
No, I wouldn’t have one myself… grip feels too chunky in my hand. To each their own.

I find the SCCY a great gun for an EDC. I carry the CPX-2 every day, 10 +1 – DAO. It’s one of the rare non-striker fired semi-auto’s out there, and I’m a big fan of a hammer. (Not a fan of 1911’s) Trigger is endlessly predictable as a DAO and I feel perfectly safe carrying with a chambered round. And that chunky grip, well, what works for me and all that stuff. And as a skinny feller, it’s incredibly easy to conceal AIWB. I’m a T-shirt and jeans guy, but I wok in an office and out on a shop floor, so predictable, concealable and plenty of rounds are my 3 big concerns (21 rounds with 1 in the pipe and an extra mag.). The SCCY CPX models fit the need in a very nicely priced package.
I bet when that cat goes disco dancin with that water bottle stuck in his pocket all the girls go” ooh, oh, oh my my, won’t you be my Studebaker.”
