If she's married to you she not only deserves that gun but probably needs it.

Have you resolved your inner turmoil over RVs yet, donne'? It must be hell loving the
idea of getting one but having to put them down for harry's sake.

Let me know when you want more info on them. We can keep it hidden from YKW.

Funny stuff! You spend all day wondering about other people's lives
rather than living your own.

Why not a Sig Sauer P238?

Darn nice gun.

I agree. I had a S&W Bodyguard .380 for a "carry" pistol. Didn't like
it at all. Trigger pull was ridiculously long and with my state's
requirement of a 10lb pull I'd end up pointing the thing at the ground
by the time it fired.

Also had jamming issues (stovepiping) although it may have simply been
that I didn't have it long enough to properly break it in.

I traded it back in for a Sig Sauer P238. Much nicer feel overall and
no jams.

..380's are notorious for needing a break in period. She will get plenty
of range time. The deciding factor was the size. She has small hands.

It will probably be fine for her then. The problem I had with it was a
tendency to pull the barrel down simply by pulling the trigger back to
fire. It has a long pull for a small gun. I suppose you could have it
customized.

harry knows a gunsmith who could give it a 1lb double action trigger.
What a joy that would be to stuff in your pocket. ;-)
