The beauty of the affordable Keltec, eh?
Our ladies can all FIRE the 45s, but cannot reasonably practice and master them.
Really?
Care to put your money where your mouth is?
My wife and two daughters have been trained by me on a Springfield Operator 1911.
They all three shoot a 1.8 inch group at 15 yards.
All three score in the high 90's in the simulation drills, with my youngest doing perfect scores on the timed Practical drills.
Don't tell me women can't master a 1911 in .45 caliber.
There isn't a woman alive that I cannot train to effectively deploy a full-size 1911 .45.
I will admit that both my daughters prefer the Officers Model Colt Defender...because of the weight...but it has little to do with the use of it, more because of the fact that 24 ounces of metal banging around in a hand bag or hanging off a waist is more comfortable than 39 ounces.
And they all carry Condition One...as in cocked, locked and ready.
My normal carry is a Defender...although I have recommended a Bersa Thunder .380 for some folks, based mainly on the fact that if a weapon is a pain for some to carry, then they will not carry...and any weapon is better than none.
And I do occasionally carry a .380, depending on the activity.
But I am well-trained...as in 20 years as an MP and 18 years of civil law enforcement.
But that just makes it easier to train others.
