I read some people talking guns awhile back, can't remember it all.
So after shopping around, I bought my wife an HK VP9. She's very small and has small hands, but is able to operate this gun well. The big problem is going to be loading those clips. Damn things are sharp and stingy even for me. Going to get a clip loader next for her so I don't have to stop and do it all the time. The "charger grips" by the rear sight was a huge plus for her. She had issues working the slide even on some of the smaller compacts, but the VP was easy as pie for her.
Next....Im getting something for me. I've carried an old Ruger .357 security six for a loooong time. Had the gun since I was like 12 lol (well, it was mine...with supervision for some time...). Nothing special, but it's a gun you can drop, throw, kick, accidentally drop out of the truck while getting out tons of crap....and I don't have to worry about it....I would buy another VP9 for me, but I just can't carry the same gun as my 5 foot 100 pound wife....just wouldn't be me.
I have my eye on a certain gun at a near by store....will wait until I actually have it in my possession and have some range time before I say more.
