Daughter got into guns this year, first with a shotgun now shopping for a handgun. I've been steering her toward a revolver because she limpwrists so bad she gets a couple malfunctions every 30 rounds or so shooting my SR9c (I've got 900 rounds through it without a hiccup). We tentatively settled on Taurus 905 (she's dead set on 9mm) with the agreement that she'd keep an open mind toward something in .38 to open up her selections a little. Lately though, she's been thinking about an auto. I told her that MIGHT work so long as she doesn't get anything too light and works on strengthening her wrists and grip. Look for something compact enough to conceal, but with enough weight to absorb some recoil. However, my SR9c wouldn't be characterized as a lightweight and she has issues shooting it.
Off she goes to the LGS, asks for the same guy we've been dealing with (who I've also had the discussion about her weak wrist shooting). He takes her on a totally different tact and she ends up making a deposit on an LC9.
I'm quite concerned about this gun being too light and snappy for her, or getting a stovepipe or FTF when the chips are down.
OK, rant over. Now... what to do?
