My wife is seriously considering both getting her own handgun, and a CCW permit. I support both of course! And, she wants to go ahead and get some training courses under her belt as well.
Would particularly appreciate thoughts from the ladies out there, but also from the spouses/significant others ... What handgun options might she want to look at?
She's a smaller girl, a bit skittish, not exactly mechanically inclined. Very much a novice when it comes to firearms. But a former athlete, and better hand/eye coordination then I'll ever have.
Some options I have in mind might be a Sig p232 or p239, but that's because I've got a Sig bias. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of butting out and letting her discover what suits her best. I have a good number of handguns, but they are relatively larger framed, not that well suited I think for her eventual carry needs....
Any experiences to share?
