The M9 is an outcome of PC in the army.
Just like easier physical fitness tests for female soldiers. And quotas for hard to get slots. And when they get pregnant they are non-deployable.
But who needs an army that can fight anyways?
Just wait until the new gay army...
“But women can shoot the M9. They can’t shoot anything with a bigger round.”
BS with oak leaf clusters. Many Texas women carry .45s and they are quite good with them. Why?
‘Cause it’s silly to shoot twice.”
Bingo! Most chicks in uniform can barely handle the 9MM. God help us all if they are required to accurately fire and handle .357 or .45 in combat.
Nail head, meet hammer.
100% dead-on correct.
“But women can shoot the M9. They can’t shoot anything with a bigger round.”
With training they most assuredly can - I have had students fire my .44 mag revolvers and like the gun.
Common comment - “Cool gun!”
Recoil, in and of itself, is something easily dealt with, assuming good instruction, careful selection of the gun/grip combo, and proper hearing and eye protection.
One girl turned to me after emptying the cylinder and said, “Real empowerment, right in my hands.” Note “hands”, as I do not allow beginners to try a 310 grain max load with one hand. A reasonable 240 grain round suffices. After all, the target is paper, not 1,500 pounds of mad meat with attitude.
Someone will have to tell my CHL instructor. You tell her, I'm afraid of her... Actually she's a nice lady, distracting, but nice. And she has a big scary looking former Marine husband. He looks scary, she is scary. I think she carries a .40, but I know she shoots a .45 sometimes.
