1: Go to the gun store and give her the credit card
2: Back away from the counter
3: Shut up
Purse carry is a lousy option that should be the last resort of a woman who can find no other possible means of carry.revolvers don't have accidental discharges when carried in purses
Ghost Tracker said:A gun isn't supposed to be primarily comfortable, but rather comforting. If she's already able to effectively run a 9mm, then LET HER pick one out.
The comfort of the shooter is a factor that can't be ignored.
David E. said:No, but it shouldn't be the over riding priority.
I beg to differ. I can shoot a 3" or 4" .357 loaded with most loads fairly well and the recoil isn't that uncomfortable to me. I'm comfortable with both and that allows me to use them. But I have shot handguns that I wasn't comfortable with and there is no way I'd carry one for defense. To those who aren't comfortable using a .357 for whatever reason, I'd steer them to something they are comfortable with.
David E. said:We appear to be talking about different aspects of "comfort."
Evenso, I suppose I still disagree with you.
If "comfort" relates to the physical carrying of a gun, then small, light and thin would rule the day. But they suck for actual defensive use.
If "comfort" relates to the shooters ability with a given gun and/or caliber, what if they are "comfortable" with a .22 Short single shot? Fine, but it's a bad choice for defense.
So, putting mere "comfort" ahead of common sense is a foolish thing to do.
I don't get this at all. Your wife can shoot a 9mm but YOU want her to carry something in a LESSER caliber? Don't you like her any more? Most times it's the other way around.I am looking around at all of my options for the perfect gun for my wife for everyday carry. She is comfortable with a 9MM but i was thinking about getting something with a smaller caliber so it can be compact with as little recoil as possible.
Opinions?
