Wait. Light weight .45acp for women? Surely you jest.
My wife shoots one all the time. Competently and accurately.
I met an “old hippy chick” as she described herself in a local gun shop a few years ago. She was getting her .380 tuned up. After chatting with her awhile she said that the .380 was her back up to her back up. She carried 2 m1911s, one in IWB, the other in her purse and the .380 on her ankle. I’m thinking that anyone messing with her was not going to have a good day.
It never ceases to amaze me at the wide range of people you run into. Most bring a smile but a few are scary.
