My wife decided to get a concealed carry permit, so I signed up and took the courses with her to keep her company. She wanted a 637-2 (my Hi-Power and 1911 Commander were too bulky for her taste, and she couldn't rack the slides), so we got one, and I liked it so much I got another for myself. Put titanium cylinders in both for weight reduction, and I converted mine to 9mm. She likes that enough to do hers too. We don't see anything wrong with the light weight 1-7/8" j-frames. Should we rethink it? We were expecting severe recoil, but it isn't bad at all.
