I appreciate the thoughts and perhaps forming the question while watching the superbowl commercials I didn't refine my thinking for the post. I usually carry a P238. I like it and it is easy for me to conceal in a varity of manners. It is also one of the more expensive models of the P238's and I have grown very fond of it, but I could also go to Academy and buy one the basic models for 60% of the cost. I dont suspect that I venture into many situations in my average day that will require the use of it in self defense, but being on old boy scout, I try to be prepared, so I carry. I was hoping that someone could verify that if you have to use your pistol, you will not get it back. Our instructor mentioned that you might or might not, but it was nowhere near a definitive statement, rather an aside to an answer of another question.
I know one cant predict when trouble might arise but one can certainly make some reasonable assumptions based on where his daily travels might take him. In those situations where one must travel into spots where trouble happens more frequently I wonder if selecting a less expensive option, base model versus ornate model makes sense?

Evidence Recovery
It's in the details really.
Fair point, and I struggled to find a title for the thread that would capture the intent of my thoughts. This may have been a better title. So now I ask, if it is evidence recovered and it turns out that a no bill happens, does the weapon get returned to it's owner?
