Your Old lady's gun

When I met her she had a Colt Mustang +II. Now she's got a lot more including a Beretta PX4, an H&K USP, a Browning Buckmark just to name a few. Some of them used to be mine until she shot them... :( She carries a Kel-Tec P32.
 
Bersa Thunder .380 and she just got a Ruger SP101 21/4" barrel and bobbed hammer. She does love my RIA Compact 1911 though.
 
She doesn't carry it, but the gun that sits in her nightstand is the Ruger sp101 .327 federal magnum. She loves it, so do I.
 
Colt Police Positive Special, 4" w/ 200g LSWC, bedside. (Sometimes I get to shoot it!)

In the car, same gun in 2", aka Colt Detective Special. She gets off a 6-round burst pretty quick, with hand-sized group at 7 yards.
 
My wife's gun collection consists of a carry gun NAA Guardian .32, walking the dog gun Rainbow Sig 239 in 9mm, and her "when hubby isn't home" gun Beretta PX4 in 40cal.
 
My wife

Carries a Glock 26. She loves her baby Glock. It has a finger extension on both mags and crimson trace laser grips. For me it is ok but don't like to shoot it to much. It doesn't fit me well and has a little sting to it in my hands.
 
In the late 1960s, with my help my wife bought a Colt 1908 Pocket Model in .380 ACP. It was to be a "surrogate husband" while I was away on one of my Vietnam deployments. As it happened, during my very next deployment, she used it one night to dissuade two young men from entering our bedroom window. They nearly tore the fence down leaving the premises. She still has that Pocket Model, now loaded with modern (standard pressure) hollow points. And she can still repel boarders.

Cordially, Jack
 
Once my wife felt comfortable with something more than a .22LR pistol, she chose the Bersa Thunder 380cc. She absolutely loved the way it felt and pointed, but she eventually lost confidence in it. Why? She actually had the dreaded and all too common "Disconnecter Spring" issue happen while at the range. The best way to explain this issue is... Bang, Bang, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing.

My wife decided that the only way that she could really feel confident with a firearm, would be to move to a revolver platform. After trying just about every handgun from three gun dealers, my wife finally chose the Ruger LCR. She absolutely loves her LCR, and is quite accurate with the little beast. The best part about the LCR, is that she can feel confident that it WILL work when she needs it the most. She says that it is the only gun she will ever carry.

Well My WIFE'S....

Firearm of choice (she doesn't carry) is an older Ruger .38 revolver I've had for better than 20 years. It's stored on our bedside table in a combination lock safe

She's had shoulder surgery on both arms, and has trouble racking the slide on a semi-automatic handgun.

I'd never call her that out of respect for her, and I'd advise other not to either, she's a pretty good shot. And breathing becomes difficult when your chest has gaping holes punched through it by a +p .38 special round.
 
My wife carries a .38 Dick Spl. My neice carries a Glock 33 in .357 S.I.G. Another neice carries a Colt Commander in .45 ACP. Best pals wife carries a CZ RAMI in 9mm. Nephew's new bride carries a Bersa in .380. I get warm fuzzies just knowing that the some of the women I love are armed and can all shoot.
 
Wife's Gun

None when she left she didn't take a one. New paramour is an anti/hippy and doesn't want her to be a pistol packer.
 
My wife doesn't care anything about guns.

That's good because I don't have to share.

That's how I look at it now, after years of hoping for a shooting companion. Early on I really wanted my wife to learn to shoot and get her CCW, but you know, you gotta have a little bit of a sense of humor about the whole thing when you finally accept that you are married to someone that simply HATES guns with a passion.

Actually, hate is a small word in the case of my wife. Call it, rabid foaming at the mouth, spitting vitriolic hatred. Over a thing, nonetheless :confused: . The mere sight of a gun, or gun related product, irritates the crap out of her.

She's not anti 2nd-amendment, just anti-me owning them. She accepts it though, sort of, as she knows I'd be a miserable, cranky !@#$ if she ever attempted to force me to get rid of them. She is mostly silent on the whole thing. I pointed out that I don't smoke, I rarely drink (never been drunk), I don't do drugs, I am faithful in our marriage, I don't steel, I wouldn't kick the dog after a bad day at work (if we had one), etc etc. She agreed, so I told her to view my love of guns as my "flaw" or "sin" and leave it at that. Still, she does like to go on an "I hate guns" tyraid every now and then.

Oh well, I love her anyways! :p
