Default Wife New 1911

Yes it is not a S&W but what she wanted.
Browning 1911-380 with High Figure Grips in Birds Eye Maple.
She has not fired it yet but will do later this week.
Also ordered an OWB Mernickle Custom Holster.

Congratulations, she's a beauty, very classy looking. I bet your wife really enjoys it. My husband had me get a .380 mini-replica 1911, the Sig P238, as my first pistol, because I couldn't rack the slide on anything else at the time. I hope if enough people buy .380's, it will make the ammo prices more reasonable. Right now it's my priciest ammo above .22LR caliber.

Not too long ago I got my wife a good pistol.
Walther P38.
it seems to fit her hands quite well and it's a joy to shoot.

Sorry folks but I am done with this forum. The PC police give me warnings for everything I post. I am gone out of here & will not be back.

I do wish you people would quit posting pictures and stories about these Browning .380s.
I'm trying real hard NOT to buy one. But y'all just keep tempting me.

Thanks, but I stopped getting Fiocchi because I get the worst groups from them out of my P238.
