Mrs. WK has started talking about getting her concealed carry permit and we are to go shopping soon. She likes the looks of small autos but doesn't like the snappy recoil, even of a .380, been there, done that a couple times. We may look at 32acp if she really wants to get an auto, but I feel certain we are bringing home a j frame sized wheel gun, most likely a second tier gun like Taurus or Charter. On wheelguns I am plenty gun savvy, and can put her onto several good guns that she can try. On tiny autos (what she thinks she wants) I don't know much. Looking at guns the size of say a keltec p11 and smaller in 32acp or 22 mag. Any suggestions for mild recoil pocket autos?
My first thoughts are to run her through the g42 (.380) and hope it doesn't stick, followed by keltec p32, NAA guardian, and any used 32acp guns I can find. I can hand load for her in 32 but will not tool up for 380 unless it's a taurus mini revolver.
On wheelguns I will put her into a 32 cal or 38 cal of any flavor and hand load for her target ammo. In this realm I'm hoping for 32hr mag or 327 fed but expecting 38spl. Not ruling out 22 mag or 17hmr here either.
Anything I'm missing that needs put in her hands? Kahr, Sig (she likes the rainbow 238), ruger...any suggestions are welcomed.
