I have not received my CHL in the mail yet (it has only been 34 WORKING days - after all!). I have read posts listing some magnificent firearms that are being carried concealed. Some of the guns carry with them price tags that border on 4 figures.
My area of concern is if (God forbid) it becomes neccessaryfor you to fire your weapon to protect yourself the first thing that will happen is for the law enforcement authority to confiscate your gun as evidence until the investigation and judgment is complete (however long THAT takes).
If I had a Kimber, Sig, Kahr, H&K, or any number of great guns this would be a concern of mine. All manner of things might happen during the interim, much less the duration of having a valuable asset sit on a shelf in a police property room.
Granted, the issue of reliability must be satisfied. Having done this I would think that my $385 Bersa Ultra Compact 9mm would be a better choice to turn over to the cops than a $900 Kimber. I understand that there are many debatable points involved here from both sides of the table.

It's just a thought of mine and wondered how everyone reconciles it with themselves.
