My wife started carrying (when she got her CHL) my Sig p229 in 357 sig, then she swiped my Colt Officers ACP, and now she has 'transitioned' into a Sig p239 in 357 Sig....she has OWB's, IWB's and purses for all occasions....in the house, she can access and shoot anything that we own (including the anti-aircraft artillery)
