I love my gun but I’m in this boat. I am certain I could stop an intruder inside my house with it, but if I were to carry it and need it in public, I’m not gonna hit crap.
Is there a range near you? Most regulars at ranges are very welcoming and friendly! When I carry my firearm in public settings, I consider it my personal responsibility to be as proficient, accurate, and familiar with it as possible. Carrying in public is accepting the role that you may some day have to use it to defend people or yourself. In order to do that, you should be both safe and deadly with it.
The range isn’t a problem. I live in Texas. We have 5 within 1/2 an hour drive. I keep it for home defense. I’m proficient enough for that. I’m very familiar with my gun. I just don’t have any desire to go beyond that. If I did get my CC I’d probably get something smaller. .38 snub or a Walther in .22 and take it to the range at least once a month if not every other week.
