Okay folks, looking for some recommendations for a self defense weapon. The person is:
Left Handed
Somewhat Recoil Sensitive (thinks the Glock G-26 is trying to buck out of her hands with 115grain Winchester FMJs.
Has rather short fingers but average sized hands.
The G-26 is as much recoil spring as she can handle- couldn't open a Makarov.
Has handled and rejected the grip of:
Browning HP
Walther P-99, PPK
Sig 230 (too big)
SW-99 compact (Pinky sticking out)
Beretta 86, 92, Tomcat
Sig 228, 229, 225
Likes:
Walther P-22 (a sub-minimal self defense gun)
You get the picture. Personally, I think a revolver would suit her best but as a lefty the manual of arms is a little on the complicated side. I think most blowbacks are going to have too herky a recoil spring. I suppose an option would be a revolver (.32 H&R?) with the expectation that she wouldn't be able to re-load all that quickly.
Any recommendations? Please!???
