Went to a movie at the mall on Sunday and stoped in at Oshmans as I normally do with the wife in tow. As Im looking at what they have my wife says "I like that one". Points to a S&W 908. My wife never says she like any gun over the next. So I ask the sales guy to see it. Turns out I agree that it fits her hand very nicely being that it is a single stack & she has smallish hands. She also has problems with D/A trigger pulls on some of my pistols, but not this one. It was real light. Plus being at Oshmans the price was right so I asked her if she wanted it. She also wants another diamond ring, so she was very conflicted. She askes for time to think about it and we go home. Soon as I lay down for a nap she decides she wants it. So we head back to the mall and she buys it in her name. We grabbed some ammo and headed out for the desert. She shot very well with it but she did have a couple problems.
First it is nearly impossible for her to lock the slide back using the slide release w/o a empty magazine in the gun. I had to do it for her. Her grip just wasn't strong enough. Finally I just had her putting an empty mag in and pulling the slide back to lock.
Second was she was kinda limp wristing it a bit. We had no ftf but the casings were flying straight back into her face. When I shot it they extracted out to the right just fine. Other than working on the grip is there anything that can be done about this?
Third and last problem was loading the magazines, not a big prob. I can help her with that. Im just worried that since this is "her" gun and I am training her to carry this for personal defense, I want her to be able to manipulate all of the controls effectivly. Hopefully with practice this will all work itself out.
I had wanted to get her a revolver because of her strenth but she was excited about this gun so hopefully we can get it to work for her.
