Finally people are acknowledging that it’s difficult for most women to use automatics and not just mocking us as being inept. I am an unusually strong woman, but I cannot safely pull the slide back. I can do it eventually, but the barrel gets waved around in an unacceptable manner, so I only carry and use revolvers.
My wife also has great difficulty with semi-autos for the same reason. But you probably also know that not all semi-autos are the same. My wife can handle and function a Glock 19, but not my XD, and certainly not my 1911’s or M9. The springs are different for each. So if a semi-auto still has your interest, you might as to try some with the lighter springs.
