So my wife has decided she wants a sig p238. She likes the 1911ish look to it and the size of it. Its real slim, which is something she's after in her next gun. She currently carries a g26 and is getting tired of the width iwb.
I have a problem with the idea to be honest. The gun to me is over priced for what it is and the price of ammo to feed it is out of this world. I also worry about the performance of the round(not starting a caliber war guys)
From what I read a heavier 9mm is going to get better penetration and exspancion than a .380.
She's hooked on the size and look of it. IMHO however, she can get somthing almost as small in 9mm like the
kahr cm9,pm9,Ruger lc9 or the nanno) We have no experience with any of the above mentioned fire arms. I do have a
pf9 but she hates it. Do any of the above 9mm's recoil less?
I just don't like the idea at all, when she can get a single stack 9 for less as well as practice a whole lot cheaper. I'm just anti 380 these days, with the size of the pocket 9's and cost of ammo.
What say you guys? Should I just keep my moth shut and let her get it against my better judgemeant, or try to get her to look at it from my point of view?
