She wants to be able to defend herself. Since she's an attorney and deals with scumbags every once in a while I think its a good thing. |

I think it is an excellent thing that your wife is smart enough to want to defend herself.

There have been good suggestions.
If I were you and lived where you do, I'd take her to Sportsman's warehouse and have her hold several different makes/models. See how they fit her hand, how she likes the balance and if she can pull the slide. A single stack will most likely fit her hand the best. The personal CCW .380s are pretty small and IMO aren't what she's going to want for a purse/home weapon. XDM is a good choice, I do like the bodyguard in contrast to what I said above and I'll be one of the guys who will tell you that while you can get a really nice Kimber or higher end name brand, you don't have to. I have a single stack 9m Taurus Millenium that I like a lot and brideowanian shoots it well. First handgun she fired was a taurus judge with 410 home defense rounds, then I got her a Ruger SR .22 to get comfortable shooting, and then move her up until she's ready to shoot a 1911 .45. If you want to bring her down to my farm, I could let her shoot up to a dozen models. |

It's also strange that my Beretta 92fs gets a lot of love, too. The handle on it is massive. The Glocks collect dust (like they should ) |

I don't care for glock at all. Never have liked them and it would be my opinion that they are not an entry level weapon.
I had a Model 36 .45, shot it one time and sold it. |

If I were attacked and had that gun on me I might use it as a club instead of firing it. I am obviously over-stating it, but I shoot it every time we get together, and hate it more and more. My Beretta and SW 1911 are soooo much better IMO. |

if it's one she wants to carry I would go with a .380.

Most places don't have much these days. You'll get a better deal there most of the time compared to sheels or bass pro. There are other places that are worth a look too like Fleet Farm......or a gun show.

Can't wait for the Fleet & Farm to open in Ankeny. Can't believe Des Moines doesn't already have a store like that.
For now we are just trying to get as many different models in her hands. Friend of my does combat training so I think I might just see if we can set something up with him at a range so she can get comfortable. |
