Carry gun recommendations for son
#2 son just got a "buyers" job that will involve carrying large amounts of cash cross country to make those purchases.
I taught both sons gun safety when they were young. (Shot a 2-liter bottle of Big Red with my Mountie and hot hollow point to show them how dangerous even small guns were. Bottle blowing up didn't impress him as much as seeing the bullet making a big dust cloud a quarter mile down the field. He didn't think it would have enough energy after destroying the bottle to go that far. Demonstration worked!) He taught gun safety at YMCA summer camps when he was younger.
But we've never been pistol shooters (except for my Army time and shooting expert with the .45) so I'm looking for advice from more experienced folks. After shooting the .45 I'm not much of a fan of smaller calibers, but he may be more recoil sensitive than I am and hasn't got much experience aiming guns so I'm looking for ideas of what guns and calibers to consider.
So what does the brain trust here think would be a good pistol/caliber for him to carry? And to make it more interesting he'll spend a lot of time on motorcycles.
Thanks.

Well, in that scenario @drobs, you are most certainly correct.

"Make damn sure he knows carrying a gun with hollowpoints in NJ and he gets caught he’ll spend time in prison.'
If he gets caught with any pistol in New Jersey it will be 3 years in the pen.
Tony Soprano [It is fiction but based on reality] got busted for possession of hollowpoints and was facing 7 years on the ammo alone. Before the trial, the witness developed "memory problems" and he refused to testify against Tony.

Only thing I will say/add, is that if you shoot someone more than 10-15' or so from yourself, you are going to have an extremely difficult time claiming/proving Self Defense.
The Tueller drill is certainly bunk under most circumstances.
