RedOakRanch - you might be in a very low, voilent crime area but you have to keep it as such and this is the perfect case of "it will never happen to me/my neighborhood/home for owning and shooting it semi-annually.
This is my own researched and recommended list:
Gun - Revolver (Six-shooter) Smith & Wesson 586 (4")
Gun - Concealed Carry FN Five-Seven
Gun - Compact Carry Steyr S40-A1
Gun - Shot Gun Mossberg 590-A1
Gun - Carbine FN15 MOE SLG
Gun - Personal Defense Weapon FN PS90
Gun - Rifle Bolt-action Winchester 70 Alaskan (.300)
Now if you go with a Clint Eastwood "Dirty Harry" S&W revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 29 is a large N-Frame revolver chambered in .44 Remington Magnum. Introduced in 1955, it won great fame as 'The Most Powerful Handgun in the World' in the 1971 Clint Eastwood film Dirty Harry.
He said they hurt, since he used and shot it daily in the movie for many weeks I wouldn't get one but would get the 586. The Model 586 uses S & W's L (medium) revolver frame, with a K-Frame sized grip mated to a larger diameter cylinder.
For example I have a Kimber 1911 SIS pro and it's great for HD /everyday concealed carry due to its weight and fire power, but for me I leave it at home and went the lighter everyday compact carry route of Steyr S40-A1 with a Viridian C5 green laser.
