My wife has never been a shooter. Recently she's started becoming interested in shooting and getting her CWP.
We're trying to narrow down the pistols she would like to try and decide from there. She's shot my Glock 22 and didn't like it, shot my Father's S&W J Frame in .38 special and did ok, but didn't like the muzzle blast.
The only one she like was his Walther .22LR. I think they're great fun and a great way to learn but i'm not sure if it's enough for a self defense load.
My dad also has a Kel-Tec sub compact 9mm she wants to try out.
Her biggest issues seem to be recoil and the muzzle blast/bark.
When she gets a chance she's going to attend a local ladies night shoot at the local range.
She's held both the S&W J Frame and the Ruger LCR and she prefers the J frame. Hopefully tomorrow she can try the 9mm and decide if it has too much kick. If not gonna steer her to a Glock 26
So would a 9mm be a good choice? I think maybe if she shot the .38 more she would like it, she put 15 rounds through it which is great for her, only 1 round of my .40 and she was done :banghead:
Just looking for suggestions for calibers and pistols for her to try and find the one that she's comfortable with.
Thanks.
