Since I've got her taken car of I'm looking for a CCW myself. I've got a Colt 1991A1 but it's a full frame .45 and not very concealed friendly. But I'm still a fan of the .45 ACP for personal defense, so I've been looking at this Springfield XD Mod 2.

cc is about having something to shoot to kill within 20 feet. any open fire you get into past that you are spraying and praying. I carry a Ruger LCP 380 everyday. it fits in my pocket and its small enough I dont even feel it. About the same size as my iphone. I would reccommend this as a CC over most anything else. I used to carry a SW MP40 Shield but it was still too bulky to comfortably carry.

I guess it all depends what you want and what you want to spend.
I've allegedly had several choices. LCP or LC9 are ok, but I'm not the biggest fan of the fit in my hand. Sig p238 is a .380 but it's basically a mini 1911 frame. I liked it quite a bit. Glock 42 and 43 I like and I'm not a Glock fan as a rule. I don't think you would be wrong to look at the S-W wheel guns either. a .38 might be ok for what your needs are and they're pretty simple, point and click. I used to avoid revolvers because I thought the hammer would catch, but maybe it's not a big concern and there is a hammerless option. |

Yeah if you are a big guy with big hands the lcp will probably be too small. I put a clip extender on it and new rubber grip. It fits just a touch small on my hand but it is good.

Snagging the hammer while drawing it is a consideration but Lil'Momma wanted a hammer. Actually she wanted a single action revolver, I talked her into the double action by telling her it is a single action except for when she really needs it to be more.

Springfield XD Sub Compact XD .40 3"
http://www.springfield-armory.com/pr...ompact-40-cal/ I could just never get into the Glock feel. Great guns but just don't like the feel of them when shooting as much as the Springfield. |

Had a family discussion, hopefully it will be a "family" event. Both kids are teenagers and don't really wanna go.
Again, taking notes. The range has a bunch of guns that they can try. In the end, what is better the spending time with the family whacking crap. |

Nice, that is the one that she heard about. I am thinking might be too much for my mom's hand. When a young man says "that has a kick", told mom no.
I got the clips that were missing from my Dads 9 mm Makarov and some 9mm Makarov ammo, with the red (pinkish) hand grips. Cool. Now I can see if this will work for my wife. She slid the slide back tonight easily, and thinking this will work for her. Our trip to get the family adventure CC license fell apart for last Sunday, but hope to do it in March to include my Mom and Dad. I will looking be at the past notes for a CC for my Mom (small hands, 76 yrs old). Lots of variables. Thanks again CP |

For an elderly lady I'd suggest a 22LR revolver so that 1. she doesn't have to rack a slide and 2.little/no recoil. I'm sure your mom is the exception but a lot of ladies in that age group don't have the grip strength they used to. Working in a Pharmacy I hand out a lot of easy-open caps for pill bottles for many people, men included, starting younger than her by quite a bit. Arthritis and various other ailments start to rob us of many things when we hit the 5th, 6th,7th decades of our life.

Not recommending it for anyone in particular, but I have a Glock 27 that probably has less than 200 rounds through it and would make someone a pretty good deal on it. Not trying to be a salesman or anything.
