Sig Sauer p238
My wife looked at and tried a number of 380s and in her opinion (and mine) nothing compared to the sig. Granted it was not under $400. but over the life of a firearm the big expense is ammo, and it is extremely important that the gun is close to perfect for her as possible.
She is extremely particular about her trigger pull. And the p238 was just right.
Sig Sauer p238
Yes, I love my little P238.
I like my Walther P22 also but for a completely different reason.
As a trainer it is unsurpassed for showing people how to shoot more complicated weapons. It has all the basic features found on the big Sigs and other military pistols. The .22 LR is good to get people away from the scared of guns attitude as well!!
