My wife was not real crazy about guns. Then we opened our business to the public.
I then took her out to the gun shop, and we picked her up a .38spl snubbie.
She loved it. I think it's when they own their own handgun, and you take the time to take them shopping, and spend like $300-$500 on them, it peaks their interest.
After we bought it, she couldn't wait to get home and take it to the range.
She did very well with it. Then she tried my 44mag with cowboy loads.
She got such a kick out of it, we got her her own.
I think now she wants her own 9mm.
There's no stopping her now!!!!!
We go to the range together at least once a week.
Also her CCW permit arrived yesterday!!!!

My next gun is likely to be the XD45. I have an XD40 and an aftermarket 9 mm barrel. The XD series points very well for me an fits my hand nicely.
I took my wife to the range (indoor - a mistake) and the fellow 2 lanes down was firing a 44 mag. Even though the Ruger 22/45 was no problem for her, the boom of the 44 was just too much. She laid the Ruger down and ran out of the shooting area.

ZMP_CTR,
The Firedragon 9 mm barrel may even be better than the OEM 40 barrel. It was just a drop-in, with no mods necessary.
There is a tremendous amount of information on the XD site about everything having to do with all the XD models. There also is a link to the sites that offer the aftermarket barrels. You can get a 357 sig barrel for the 40 as well.

If you are at all confused by the hs2000, that was the original incarnation of the XD series before Springfield became involved.
The danger of accessing the sites that offer parts and accessories for the XD series is that it is easy to have to re-fi your home to afford all the goodies you may want to buy.

If you are anything like me, you will be like a kid at Christmas when you get the new gun.

I've recently added an S&W 686-3, police turn-in, and a Springfield GI that has been doctored to add sights large enough for my 60 year old eyes and a 4 lb trigger.
I have a 1943 M1 Garand, my little piece of history and just like the one my father carried during the Anzio invasion. Another is a model 1873 Springfield Trap-door and original bayonet that, with a missing chunk of stock on the left side, is a wall hanger - if my wife would let me hang it on the wall.
I would like to add a WW II carbine and an M98 Mauser some day. Of course an AR15 M4 would be nice, as would an M14 (M1A). I haven't touched an M16 derivative since 1969.

"Shipwreck. What does one of these go for?"
850 bungligars, currency on the planet Burdingo.
(Well, is does look a little like a gun from old sci-fi movies)
