Hand Guns
All right, what do you shoot, and what would you recommend for a hand gun for my wife?

Just casually talking about what handgun to buy is the most absurdly surreal sounding thing to me.

http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/...ept-the-crims/ Actually I live currently in a place that is less than friendly to firearms owners. What shocked me most was seeing people afraid of firearms...frankly I had never seen that before. Firearms are tools and when you grow up with them and are taught to respect them they aren't something to fear. To see the irrational fear some people have about firearms has been quite shocking....

I like the premise that "defend mahself against the gubment!" should come up during a discussion about some guy's bird buying a 10 round 9mm handgun.
Because if government troops show up to deprive you of your ongoing liberty, your wife holding a 9mm glock should be enough to scare them off. |

Is she looking for something to carry, or something to keep around the house?

What sucks is that availability may not be great. Things are getting better since the great gun rush but still a bunch out of stock!
What caliber does she like to shoot?

I would recommend she go to a range the rents pistols. Let her try out five or six different models and calibers. A good handgun purchase is more about the grip, feel and fit in the hand, than brand or caliber. Others will undoubtedly disagree, but I am a fan of a quality short barrel .357 Mag loaded with .38+P as good all around handgun (that's what Trndogrrl has). Depending on her clothing choices, a slim single stack .380 or 9mm might be a good fit. I like the Kel-Tec P3AT and Ruger LCP in .380. There are any number of high quality 9mm sub-compacts on the market.

Availability right now is also a consideration.

My wife and I have been thinking of a handgun to buy too actually. Living in North Mexico (Arizona) you start to feel defenseless without one with the illegal amigos and shit that goes on in this filthy state.
