Conceal Carry weapon choices
Probably a re-post, didn't see it after a quick search.

I am buy no means a gun expert but know my way around them (ex-military)

My wife is seriously looking to CC. That thought alone shocked me. She is quite against guns. She is German and with all the issues Germany has now and stuff here in the states, wants to pursue this privilege. I will as well.

Another thought is what is the best way to figure out which states allow. I have surfed the web and it is a bit confusing. She will be house sitting in SC for a month. Thus a long trip by herself through many states. As I understand, KY will prove the hardest state.

I have taken her out in our back 40 to practice. I have a 9mm CZ 75 that I bought while stationed in Germany. It is similar to the Beretta 9mm. She is a natural. The practice and repetition is the key as we all know. It is to big for CC. She will be carrying in her purse..eer er "hand bag" ( I got corrected from a female fashionista).

We are on a budget and not into an elite weapon. Something that goes bang and scares the would be bad guy. I was hoping for less then $400.

We have tried a few different types. Revolver vs Semi. Revolver is simpler but limited ammo. Semi is harder to operate but has more "bangs".

My parents have a Makarov 9x18. I thought it was junk, but find out it is quite decent. It is a Walther PPK variant. Cheap ~$300. I read a review about women and hand guns. The author stated that a point is the strength/size of women's hands. Thus semi is not a good option unless she is a masseuse. I giggled, because she is. Her hands are as big as mine which are medium/large guys paws. She has had a little problem pulling the slide back and on another old (S&W Defender) revolver the trigger squeeze.

I will use the Defender, not necessarily CC, in my car. If I can find ammo for it. That is another problem. The CZ stays at home.

Thoughts?

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.

Well dude, didnt think I was talking to women here

For a womans self defense I'm thinking snubnose .38 revolver with hollowpoints

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.

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.
