For me, it was about getting my girlfriend to "want to" want a gun. My experience has been that most women don't understand what a determined man is capable of. They think they know, but they don't really know.My wife currently has a S&W 642 Air weight revolver in 38sp for her carry gun. When she shoots it, she has trouble accuracy issues, possibly due to anticipating the recoil. Would a smaller caliber be better, or just more practice? What do your wives carry and like?
Heck, that Model 29 is perfect for her! load up some hot 240 grainers and let it rip!Wife is now wanting to carry. She has LTC already. Works in a well know hood like area. Going to Highsmith to range time. She can get whatever she wants. Sounds like she wants more of an off body carry. says her purse is always with her.
I have
smith mod 60
smith mod 66 2 1/2 (and a rossi truck gun copy)
smith 5906 9 mm
sig 226 9mm
sig 229. 40/357 sig
walther PPK/s 380 (limited ammo)
smith model 29
a few 22 target pistols.
with the range guns they have I hope she finds something she is comfortable with. A year valentines night at the range.
