So the other day my wife laid down the law and told me that the next firearm I purchase has to be for her, it has to be pink, and has to fit her comfortably. Now, she'll be happy wether it's a bow, handgun or rifle. We have a real good archery shop in town, and I know plenty about rifles, but handguns not so much.
So here I am, seeking your guy's knowledge on handguns. I myself have limited experience. My dad owns a browning buckmark. 22LR and Taurus Judge. I've seen plenty of pink buckmarks and they have the right price, plus the wife can shoot that comfortably (recoil sensitive). However, .22 is still a bit scarce so I'm open to other suggestions. She seems attracted to those small conceal carry pistols like the Ruger LC9 but I feel like that little guy would have more muzzle flip than a larger handgun.
So, any suggestions? Stick with .22s or something bigger like a 9mm? I'm not necessarily looking for a "self-defense gun" more so something she can shoot cans and paper with, along with the occasional opossum or rabbit. Also, I reload and the wife is a lefty while I'm a righty. Thanks!
