Whats your wife carry?

My wife's carry guns include her SIG-228 9mm w/CT Laser Grips, a Para PDA .45, her new .45 Taurus PT1911AR, or whatever else she feels like grabbing out of the safe... :D

Up until this past weekend, her carry weapon was a Beretta Tomcat .32, and her house weapon was a Smith model 66 4". During this weekend's range trip, she finally tried a 1911, and loved it. She now has a Springfield Loaded on her nightstand, and is shopping for a compact 1911 to carry.
 
When my wife got her CHL, we made a deal. I told her I would buy her any pistol she wanted as long as she carried it any time she left the house.

She picked a Kel-Tec P32. We took it to the range and tested it thoroughly. Since then it's been her constant companion.
 
My wife has been wanting a Taurus PT-25 with the pink pearl grips, and I have been trying to talk her out of it since its so small and under powered. But her arguement was, "Honey, I'm a pretty good shot, and I dont think someone wants to be shot in the grapes with anything."

I dont think I can argue my case any farther...
 
My wife has an XD-9 tactical in OD, BUT last summer i bought a S&W M37-2 and now she grabs it as her to go/go to gun.
 
If she thinks the Kahr PM9 is snappy, she's going to have difficulty in finding a CCW with less recoil in a defense caliber. Don't let her buy anything till she has rented or borrowed to know what she wants. As males, we think we know what will be the best gun for our lovely opposite sex because of our interest and experience, you will become frustrated, let her pick - slowly.

CCW for small frame handguns is a compromise, when you give up weight/garment sag, you get more recoil. I always pocket carry and can shoot a 357 snubbie well, but it is not an enjoyable range gun, I have stainless models for that. Though I think a 38 alloy snubbie is great for CCW, if they can't shoot it well enough to count, it will destroy their confiedence, and they probably won't carry.

With my wife, though I thought we finally had the CCW issue resolved, she prefers a full sized Sig 45acp(!), and though a 38 alloy snubbie carried well, she shoots better with a semi-automatic, now a Walther PPK/S. A Glock 19 or similar poly midsized semi-auto would be perfect, but most women want small on the body carry. A proper CCW purse can be a great option only if it is carried ALL the time.

Go slow.
 
My Wife loves my Bersa 380, so we're looking to buy a Bersa 9UC and then hopefully I can have my 380 back:D
 
hey i forgot that my wife carries more than a snubie .357,she is carrying our newest baby,she is do august 2.We find what we are having feb 18th.:eek::D
 
Mine carries a purse that would herniate a mule and hits hard enough to drop a wooly mammoth.

Assuming a badguy could get her purse away from her, he'd immediately be crushed by it's gravitational attraction to the earth :D

(I know, I've had to hold it while she tries on clothes before):cool:
