Gun Advise
 

I know that we have a couple of gun experts on here. I'm seeking some advice.

The wife has finally agreed to allow a gun in the house and I'm looking for suggestions. It would have to be something that she can use as well (she's not very big).

I went to Bass Pro this afternoon and got some good info. I really liked the feel of the S&W 9mm.

I recently moved so I apparently have to get my driver's license straight before I can make a purchase. I'm thinking about heading to the Bullet Hole this weekend and shooting with some different options as well.

Any ideas?

Advice. Just sayin.

Whoops

did you recently increase your wifes life insurance?

have her hold the targets in the air...or...on her head...or..in her mouth

You're wanting a hand gun for your first gun?

Have you shot before?

How familiar are you?

Price Range?

Buy more than one cause Obama will try to keep guns from law abiding people. Get them now.

My advice is a .38 revolver. If you (or her) are unfamiliar with firearms, it might be better to start with a revolver first. They are much easier to load and operate, and you can instantly tell if they're loaded. Also, a .38 doesn't have all that much kick to it.

9mm is nice, 45 is better IMO. Glock makes my favorites.

My next purchase for conceal carry = Glock 36

9mm Baretta auto is pretty sweet and easy to manage

Revolvers are much easier for women to use, as they often don't know how to properly pull back the slide or aren't strong enough to do it on a semi-auto.

S&W semi autos get kind of mixed reviews. If you want one around an entry level price, look at the Fabriques. They are phenomenal guns.

Barrett .50 cal SASS. All the way.

ROFL

if it's her first, have her try a .22; rent one at the range; gradually work your way up to .38, 9mm. .40 etc.

don't drop $600 on a gun that's too powerful for her.

My wife was skeert sh*tless when she shot my 9mm; but was way more comfortable with the .22; and subsequently the .38.

my $.02

agreed; the slides vary as far as difficulty etc.

if you're looking for something to protect the house she can use etc....a revolver is good. less chance of a jam etc; and if proficicent a good caliber revolver will do the job

If you're looking for a home defense weapon, you might be better off going with a short, affordable Mossburg 20 guage. Buckshot won't go through walls and would be relatively easy to become familiar with. Look at the 870 and 500 models.
