Minimalistic. I think one could justify a “truck gun” and a CCW. A .22 makes lots of sense. Ammo available everywhere, 500 rounds compared to maybe 100 of centerfire as to weight and space. Easy to shoot well to 50 yds. A carbine or “AR pistol” in the truck is a huge equalizer. I recall a Special Forces fighter remarking “the handgun is used to get to the rifle” in a tactical defense situation. The folding carbines are available in your Glock caliber, sharing mags too. Might be a viable option.
It’s not my favorite but it’s good, the Taurus TX-22. It’s lighter than your “lite” Ruger. That cheap Kel-tec 17-shot has a large following and can manage a dot sight. They are all mainly for peace of mind. Horrors for a man to have to use them. Then it matters little, it’s run what you brung, to the maximum effectiveness. I think you need something on you concealed. Serial killers have befriended people days before killing them! Scary out there in the world.
