I know these types of threads are subjective, and usually just tell what the person posting prefers, but I am asking anyhow.
I am thinking of a gun that my wife will comfortably use. She was very accurate with my Browning Hi Power, but was not always able to rack the slide (I had a higher rated recoil spring in it for shooting +P). When we rented a few for her to try at the range one day, she chose the 2.25" SP101 over the Kahr K9, and a couple of others I can't remember right now.
Here is my situation. I have a friend who is considering selling his XD-9SC. I have shot it a couple of times and am impressed with its accuracy and how easily it shoots for such a small package. It manages recoil better than my 2.25" SP101, and of course it has twice the capacity. My wife has not shot the XD.
I cannot afford to buy the XD unless I sell the Ruger. Which way would you go in this situation? Just to take one intangible out of the mix, assume that my wife has shot the XD and would be happy with either.
