My wife came to me a while back and told me she wanted to get a concealed weapons license. Being a responsible gun owner I told her that she had to start coming to the range with me and practicing until she can prove to me that she can safely and accurate handle a handgun before we would start the paperwork for her license. I think she's ready now! That's her target on the left.

Looks to me like she's ready at least on the shooting end. Good job.
Good for her
Good on the shooting end. What pistol does she want?
She's looking at the Glock 43 for carry or possibly the M&P Sheild. I've always said that it all comes down to what feels best in her hand. They are all good guns, and shoot more accurately that a person can. She was shooting her 9mm XD and my Kimber 1911 at the range.

Looks ready for sure.
The Glock 43 is a good one....its my favorite
Thai's my wife's carry.
It appears that she is ready. Excellent job!
I love my .45 XD 3.3, good shooter and excellent carry piece.

Had my first jam running my defense loads Winchester PDX1 124grain +P thru this weekend at deer camp. First jam ever, ran probably 200 hundred target loads thru it. Just take it to consideration, the slide is extremely tight and recoil is a bit more than a full size 9mm. Here a lot of women prefer the G42 over the 43 due to these issues.

43 can be handled fine with practice...Snubbys...scrub the crap out of that chamber.. Probably needs a hard cleaning, being new...one jam is one too many with defensive ammo....shoot it some more..
If it jams...change ammo
I use Hornady Critical defense ammo in the 43 and the 42 , and the 27 , .....never had a jam. My wife carries a Glock 42
You really don't need plus Ps for defense as most times its gonna be close range
I'm worried that as my wife gets older her hand strength will get weaker, and can't rack the slide, so as of now she shoots a 5 shoot 357 smith revolver. She shoots it very well too....:highfive
She handles my .45's without issue, granted they are all steel framed 1911's. The only one she has issue with is my IPSC competition gun, but only because of the heavy main spring. She is set on a nine since her range gun is also 9mm but I have made her aware that the smaller frame carry type guns have a more pronounced recoil. She doesn't seem to phased by the prospect of it.

Would not want her banging away at me.:pray
I will do.. bout time for a cleaning anyways. Run Federal HST thru my .40. May give them a go in the glock 43. And yes sir, ..G, plus P aren't necessary, I just like a little more penetration. Got some well fed and thicked clothed crooks around here, [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]Quote:

Mine too. Ann prefers the revolver, she had a hard time pulling the slide. Bought her a nice Beretta many years ago, then I bought a revolver for her. She gets plenty of practice busting snakes around my place.Quote:

If it requires more than 6 shots you most likely need a grenade .I carry a smith 38 revolver way more than an auto . Simply because I have had it longer and shoot it better . Most likely because it has been my favorite for years . (only one I owned for 30 yrs . ):biggrinQuote:
