My wife is looking for a carry piece that will be easier to conceal. She would prefer either something for pocket carry or IWB holster carry. She carries a glock 19 in winter but in summer that isn't easy to conceal well.
My wife has a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380. It is very nice to shoot, has a laser built in and is small.
The reason I suggested the LCR is because the girl in the vid was able to conceal in skin tight pants as well as several other areas. And that gun has very low recoil for being a revolver.
Are you in Southern Wisconsin? We could meet up sometime for her to shoot my LCP, or at least have her hold one.
I'm not a little guy (5'11" 190#) but I found the Kahr CM9 and PW9 (or whatever) to be really difficult to rack the slide. I would imagine a generic woman (IDK your wife's build) would have an even harder time doing it.
The LC9 has better sights, and you could keep using the 9mm round. I just didn't know if the size is that much different from the G19. I honestly DONT know. The LC9 wasn't out when I was looking. I do think the LCR is thicker than the LCP though due to the cylinder.
Yea we live in the west bend area. I think an LCP or LC9 could work. The LC9 does appear to be decently smaller than the 19. It's an inch shorter in length and half inch shorter in height. So far she hasn't been a fan of revolvers, so those might not be an option. But I think she should give the LCR a try. Also thought maybe the Kahr CM9? Sig P238 might be an option.
So I guess we could look at:
LCP
LCR
LC9
Kahr CM9
Sig P238
If anyone in our area has any of these let me know if you'd be willing to meet up so she can try them out!
