You have to start somewhere.
My very first carry gun was a Kel-Tec P-11. I had two magazines for it, with the pinky extensions. I bought a Comp-Tac IWB kydex holster for it, and the spare mag was carried in a cheap Uncle Mikes single mag pouch with a foam spacer in the bottom to lift the mag enough for quick retrieval. A lot of folks bag on Kel-Tec stuff, but I find that they are a step up from Hi-Point and the like... mine was pretty damn reliable. WWB 9mm was $9.99/100 at Wal-Mart back then, and I burned 200-300 rounds a week through that cheap gun, with very few problems. I learned to shoot the long DAO pull pretty well, despite it being a "staple gun" trigger (an accurate assessment). I carried WBB 147gr JHP, or 127gr +P+ Ranger T. Amazingly, that gun ate a lot of that +P+ load with zero issues.
I eventually traded that gun off for something else.
I've come a long way in carry gear and gun choices since then. But the basics apply no matter what gun or gear you use.
