Despite growing up in Nebraska and living in Montana for a few years, my wife has basically never shot a pistol, and only one or two rifles. Now living in Las Vegas, we're looking to change that.
We have signed up for the 4-day defensive handgun class from Front Sight, so I need to get her a weapon.
Now, whether this gun is hers to carry for ever, or it's just a stepping stone, I don't care. I figure it'll make a great backup weapon for me if she does step up. Personally, I carry a Para P12-45.
I have been considering a Colt Mustang .380, but someone suggested a Glock 9mm. I think the Glock is more $$$, and probably won't conceal as easily.
At this point, I'm just looking for something to get her through the class, but I don't want something that is worthless. I have seen the other thread on mods needed to make the Mustang 100% reliable, so that's not an issue.
Opinions please.
