My daughters have been improving their self-defense IQ and have been improving their situational awareness, pepper spray, bright tactical flashlights and swift feet. They have also been taking classes and working on understanding the law with respect to self-defense. I’m having them shoot a Ruger Security 380 and a M&P Performance Center Shield Plus, which are pretty close in size and weight. Clearly, the 9mm Shield Plus presents more potential stopping power, but that assumes the same degree of accuracy under stress. They shoot and operate the Ruger more adeptly and with greater ease than the Shield. My sense of thing is that seven months from now when they leave for college, that they should take what they best can shoot and handle after many months of practice. With more time on the range, that might very well be the 9mm.
Any comments regarding carrying what you can best shoot and any suggestions of how to best prepare them carry…should they decide to do so.
