Age old question that probably has been broached here many times, "What's a good handgun for the wife?"
My wife really isn't all that much into guns and hates large pistols because she has very small hands also most of the snubby revos are too big.
I have a couple of questions for those of you who are more handgun knowledgeable than me, which will be just about all of you. Please keep in mind these are self defense "close-in" questions and not long range target stuff. Also it has to be a purse gun.
1. Which round is ballistically stronger, .22mag or .25 auto?
2. The following are guns I already own. I have a P-32 Kel-Tec which carries 8 rounds and is about 98% reliable but occasionally will FTE and a rare rim lock with JHP's. I also have a Berretta mod 950, .25 which carries 9 rounds and runs 100% with no malfunctions. Both are marginal to say the least, but the Berretta seems to me to be the best choice. My personal carry guns are a Glock 33 or a Kel-Tec P-11 which are like rocks in her purse and too big for her.
I am willing to listen to any and all suggestions. By the way, the NAA Guardian .380 has too stiff trigger action and is very heavy for it's size. And Seecamps are too expensive.
