I started my gf on a S&W M&P .22 LR and promoted her to the M@&P .380 EZ. With her arthritis, it’s about all she can handle, but she’s a pretty good shot with it now.

I have been shooting a S&W 15-22 in the sport /M-loc rail version. I have around 2000 rounds through it with zero hiccups. The larger capacity magazines run just fine. Loading the thing with what I would recommend for home defense (yes, for home defense) has been expensive but worth it for testing reliability.

The CCI Velocitor round is getting about 1400 fps from the rife barrel and does sufficient damage to be a viable kill weapon if the trigger is pulled several times. The weapon is light and easily pointable, accurate and can carry a laser out front of the ront sight for pointing accuracy in CQB.

I am a firm believer in pulling the trigger until the Pain goes away.

Good to know, I will look into it and pass this on to my cousin. Thanks!

My dad was a paratrooper w/the 11th Airborne. They
fought in the mountain jungles of Leyte where the
M1 Carbine was considered to be pretty handy. My dad
said most everybody he knew preferred the heavier
Garand. I own a commemorative M1 Carbine given to me
by my dad. He won it at a raffle held at a 11th AB
reunion. It was made by Iver Johnson which did not
make them for WWII. It has a few polished brass
bling things on it and has never been fired.
