I second Vendome’s suggestion of going to a range that has rentals. Go multiple times, try many different handguns. Consider how well the firearm fits your hand, how easy it is to operate the controls, how well can you fire it. Does it make you flinch? How easy can you load, unload, and check weapon condition under low light? Does the firearm “bite” the web of your hand or does the trigger pinch or blister your finger.

Find the largest caliber firearm that satisfies the above mentioned criteria for both you and your wife and then practice, practice, and practice some more. Remember, a solid hit with a .38 or 9mm, beats a miss with a larger caliber.

That’s how I ended with my first Kimber the TAC II. I shot several guns over two weeks and just loved the TAC II. Turned out is was puppy love.

I fell hard in love with the Kimber Eclipse Target II and it’s the one I go to the range with...Always.

Can’t be making my baby jealous.

My brother loves his H&K 9mm, I don’t. Though I do envy what he pays for ammo.
