My husband recently purchased a Semi-automatic rifle for home protection. He and I discussed whether we should get a second one for me. I said I would be more comfortable with a handgun. I shoot more consistently with a handgun. So the obvious next question he asked is which one would you like?
I am not sure which one would be the best for me. I know I want semi-automatic beyond that I am not sure which features I should look for.
So I thought I would ask here; if you were to purchase a handgun for your wife, what type would you get? or Which features do you think is important for me to consider?
So is mine. (19) I'm still looking but, got a Beretta Neos .22 for practice.
I've got smallish hands and the Glock 19 seems a bit large for me.
Try a Mossberg pump 12-ga with pistol grip - it will stop anything that needs stopping...
Hey, I have a Glock 27!
But then, I have extremely long fingers...
Thanks, this is a good idea.
Stepping out for a while but will check back to see other responses.
Take a course in Conflict Resolution so you can talk to intruders/robbers/rapists and then you won’t need any evil guns.(/Lib Speak off)
Sig 226 in 9mm. My wife loves ours. :)
My wife perfers her Springfield XD9 Tactical to just about everything.
Me, I am an 1911 fan.
Why do you want a semi-auto?
I can’t disagree with you. I have just had such excellent performance out of the 5 Taurus weapons I own, I’m biased.
Thank you!
But it seems to have a long and funky (that's a technical term) pull. Takes some getting used to. Also seems to be less accurate beyond 10 yards despite my flawless technique.
Have a Glock 23 - very nice and the bigger round is nice. But for me the ergonomics of the SWVE are better - not that the Glock is bad, but the SW fits better. Seems to be more accurate than the SW.
Recently acquired an XD45. Very nice fit shoots well. Overall, it's my favorite. Now if I could only find some ammo for it.
One person's opinion - weight loss is not typical and your results may vary.
I would not say he went wrong with a GLOCK. He simple needs to upgrade to metal sights. Factory GLOCK sights are plastic unless you get the factory night sights.
You’re just about dangerous.
It puts a foot wide hole in paper at six feet.
Actually it is the other way around. You need to hold a semi-auto firmly with locked wrist so it can function properly.
My issue with recommending revovlers to women is that they rarely have the hand strength to fire them accurately from double action.
Yeah, and in a human it will be about an inch deep.
I have not figured out yet why anyone would buy one of those.
Love the High Power. Too bad they don’t like me. Hammer bite hurts.
