well, to the little lady problem..let her do the choosing, with you not even present. When she has decided what she wants, pay for it for her. End of problem. Do not let your bias influence her decision on Her pistol, be it a revolver or an auto.
I have a couple autos, but prefer my .38 Colt revolver. My problem is Arthor Itus has come to visit. Can I rack a slide, yes, does it hurt, yes. and I am 6' 1" and over 200 lbs but my left hand is almost useless. My auto I like best is a CZ 52, but oh does it hurt to rack that first round in there.
Has anyone racked the slide on a FN FiveseveN? I would think it should be lighter????
A slide I can rack without pain...my wifes High Standard Olympic (22 short),,,not exactly a HD weapon.
