A few years ago my wife expressed interest in going to the range with me once in a while so we bought her a Browning Buckmark for plinking and general fun. The pistol is accurate, easy to shoot, and very reliable. She doesn't shoot a lot but is proficient with the gun and seems to enjoy shooting it. Our bedside HD gun is a Glock 17 which she has shot a few times but doesn't "like" shooting it. As a result, my wife very rarely (if ever) trains with the Glock and is not nearly as proficient with it as compared to her Buckmark.
So I'm looking for some THR opinions. I find myself out of town more and more for work and have some concern that should my wife ever need a firearm for self defense in the home that her lack of training with the Glock might put her in a very bad spot under the extreme stress of a home invasion. My question is this, would she be better served with a 22 she is proficient with or a 9mm that she isn't? Curious for your thoughts. Thanks.
