Does your wife carry a revolver or semi?
- Thread starter sinac84
- Start date
My wife carries a Sig P238 with a pink Cook's IWB holster, and she's a surprisingly good shot!
Her first choice was a Bodyguard .380, but she quickly soured over the LONG trigger pull.
She doesn't care for a lot of recoil, so .380 was kinda it as far as calibers go, and it sorta ruled out a revolver.
She insisted on something with a manual safety. We went round and round about that, but at the end of the day, I wanted her to be comfortable with her carry choice.
I was concerned about the 238 being hammer fired, safety, just a lot of hoops to jump thru as far as the battery of arms goes, but we practice a lot, and she does well.

Taurus PT111 because of size and 12 round mag.... more comfortable to shot than her Colt Agent 38 spl.
S&W Model 642 Ladysmith for the last 10 or 12 years...Before that, a Model 60 LS...Reason is, She is MORE COMFORTABLE with the "Roundgun's" Manual-of-arms and TRUSTS them more from a RELIABILITY standpoint...That's HARD to ARGUE WITH, actually! LOL!...

This is EXACTLY the same boat im in.hell I eaven bought her a pink 38 it now lives under the mattress on her side of the bed.
I feel your pain sinac84. My wife doesn't have a GWL and she won't even have a pistol in her vehicle. She's "afraid the kids might get to it". Good grief. 
My sons are thoroughly schooled in firearms safety. I honestly think to her it's just more effort than she wants to put forth. It's a shame really.

What sucks is she actually has a GWL. She just doesn't think to carry it or even have the drive to. I worry because she is a cute 'lil blonde female that works in the Winters Chapel area and she needs to be carrying. I think I'm gonna get her a Remora sticky holster for the G26 so that she has more options which different clothing.
Neither!!! My wife is one of those "glass half full" types who can't see the darker side of life. After 43 years of marriage, she has learned to live with my thoughts that the glass is neither half full nor half empty....it's just a problem of logistics!! The glass is too damn big!! I deal in reality. There ARE rotten people in this world that would do you harm if you allow them to!! I am not inclined to allow that! 
The bottom line, however, is that my wife doesn't need a gun!! If you piss her off, she'll just plain nag you to death. She's that MEAN!!

My wife is a Realtor and sorry to say she HAS to carry, even tho she enjoys having the security of knowing that if someone confronts her will wish they had not! She started carrying a Ruger LCP and liked it until I got her a Kahr P380. She says it looks more intimidating and feels great in her hand, less recoil and is EZ to whear in her waist band or jacket pocket. She tells all of her friends that she carries and encourages them do learn how to handle a gun and for them to carry too. I never have to ask her to to the the range with me, she tells me we are going at least once a week.
