http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/smit...dCatid=3406310 http://www.basspro.com/Ruger-LCRx-Do...hart-container My two conceal carry pistols are Ruger LCRx and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 40 cal.(2nd and 3rd links) With the LCR series I preferred an exposed hammer because it's what I'm use to. Academy Sports here is running a special on the LCR right now and they are in stock along with M&P Shield in 9mm. Lots of great advice so far in the thread but something I'll throw out is check into a shooting range where you can possibly rent several different handguns to shoot to see what works the best for ya. I don't know of any off the top of my head but I'm sure there are those that can steer you in that direction if you're so inclined.

I love the shield and own one but in 9mm. .40 is really snappy unless you have strong hands/wrists consecutive shots tend to wander off target with a smaller pistol. .40 is great in full size because the weight of the weapon helps control the recoil.

Agreed. It is a snappy round but I shot 1911s in bulls-eye competition for several years so the recoil for me personally is no biggie. For his wife the 9mm would be just fine.

That's good. I just never had luck with subcompact .40. First couple of shots a ok then its starts to get ugly ... I can't imagine recommending one for a woman unless it's Rhonda Rou....wait never mind.

The ported Performance Center version I have I'm sure helps with the muzzle flip somewhat but I haven't shot a non-ported one to compare it to though.

No offense intended at all
You're 100% right, my bad... get her a revolver that will never jam in an easy to handle caliber A small load on target is worth any three that dont hit |

Revolvers have a heavier, longer pull.
Most women don't like that.......in a handgun. |
