Was talking to my wife yesterday and she wants another carry pistol, she already has the following;
Sig P-250 Compact 9mm
S&W 349 .357 mag but shoots .38 Spec.
1911 Government (Ed Brown)
What she is looking for now (this starting to remind me of shopping for new shoes) is something she can purse, coat pocket or CC.
Criteria as follows;
As for all SD guns reliability is first on the list
Semi Auto
Slim width - single stack mag
Good 3 dot sights
DAO or DA
More compact than the Sig P250 - Slimmer, shorter barrel, height not so much of an issue as long as height not more than the P-250.
Caliber, 9mm is preferred, .380 second choice
My wife is petite, with small hands and does not like sharp snappy recoil. She handles the P-250 very well, handles a 1911 with standard ball really well, but the S&W loaded with standard .38’s is too snappy for her likening. She would like to carry a 4” Kimber but a 1911 does not lend itself to purse of pocket carry at least in my opinion. And like a lot of gals, my wife likes to dress fashionable when in the big city so a holster does not work well….besides have ya got any idea how many holsters I’d need to buy to match all those shoes.
We looked on the net and narrowed the initial choices to the following;
Kahr PM9 , P9 or CW9
Sig P232
Do you guy or gals have any other suggestions?
