I bought m wife a Taurus 85 Ultralight for a wedding present in 1999.
She was displeased because it wasn't jewelry, and it had rubber grips.
She wanted rosewood boot grips.
I tried to explain that the rosewood boot grips would be less comfortable to shoot.
Ended up buying her a set of rosewood grips and selling the rubber grips, just to shut her up.
That worked until the first range trip.
Turns out I was right.
This year, she decided she needed some Hogue rubber grips. So I got her a set.
She wasn't happy with them, because they were black and not pink.
I told her, "It's a self defense, not an effing fashion statement. You need to get your mind right."
She was not to be dissuaded.
I got her a set of pink Hogue dead snake grips for Valentine's day, and now she's happy.
Go figure.
She had me buy her a Kel-Tec P3AT, in 1995. Once we got home, she changed her mind and gave it to me.
Great, just what I wanted. A .380 mouse gun with a 1.5 finger grip.
I put a pocket clip on it and have actually decided that I like it. It's a great last ditch "onion field insurance" gun. Not the most accurate, nor most fun to shoot, but as a "get off me" gun to keep me from being killed, it's not bad.
If I can ever get my hands on a Ruger SR45, she's let me know that she'll lay claim to my SR9.
