I've been married 10 years and working nights for more than half of that.
My wife has never had an issue with guns, she's just not a shooter. The kids love going with me and especially dig the blackpowder rifles going off.
We were discussing it last night and she's finally decided she wants a self-defense gun she can keep closeby while I'm at work for things that go bump in the night.
She's always liked shooting the .22 rifles and pistols because they're not really loud and there's no kick. So she wants something with the same characteristics, with a high capacity and more power.
So she's pretty much decided on either a suppressed .223 or a suppressed .410(do they even make those)
She wants to take a few classes to get familiar with the ar15 platform and a few self-defense classes as well. Evidently, I'm not a very good teacher when it comes to 'splainin how leverage works and how she can take down 6'5" 350lbs guy crashing through the door.
She already has a Taurus PT22 that she likes a lot, but it only has a capacity of 7 or 8. She also has a 10/22 with a 50rd magazine, but the 50rd mag creates a ftf after around 10rds or so.
So for temporary relief, until we can find exactly what she wants, I'd like to find a quality, high capacity, magazine for the 10/22.
Does anyone have any recommendations of mag manufacturers that are great?
Any suggestions for other guns that would meet her expectations?
And finally, does anyone make a suppressor for a .410?
