A question for the ladies

[joseph whitney]

I haven't recalled that this has been asked before, so here goes. I have been wondering what choices your wives or girlfriends have in the way of personal carry handguns. My own wife prefers her Beretta FS 9mm Compact first and her S&W 6906 as a second choice. Lets hear what the ladies say. I would be interested in their choices.

Walther PK-380 My wife has some arthritis in her hands, and it was the only one she could easily and reliably rack the slide.

My wife carries a 9 mm Walther PPS and loves it.

I thought there would be more feedback on this question but I guess that the womer don't carry as much as I thought they did. Anyway, for the two good members that responded, Thanks.

Mine carries a 442 and loves it. Good shot also.

jw, my wife carries her, used to be my, M12-3. She does not like the semi-auto. She cannot rack it without hurting her wrist. She prefers the revolver, and the M12-3 is hers. Loves it.

Mine loves my M&P 9 pro, She told me she wants a M&Pc for carry. Still wainting for our permits to arrive.

Depending on when and where, it's usually either a model 60 or a Bersa 9mm UC.

My bride carries a Ruger LCP with CT laser....

My wife has gone from a Glock 26 to a Ruger LCP and now a S&W Model 60 but is still looking.

She liked the Glock 26 but it was heavy enough that she didn't carry it as much. The LCP she liked but now can't get her finger to pull the trigger all the way back with the small grip and long trigger pull! The Model 60 works but she is still looking around for something else.

Mine carries a Ruger LCP although she likes my my snubby 34's.

 

[Iggy]

Mine carries a 642 most of the time. When the situation warrants something a bit smaller, she hides a Seecamp 32 somewhere.......

The wife dearly loves her PPK/S. Every once in a while she will carry her Browning BDA. Recently bought her a 3913 Lady Smith from Pace40, she isn't convinced its the right one for her...yet.

my wife has a LWS for ccw and an all steel J frame for her house gun.

told me recently to get rid of the pink laser grips, she said: "it looks like i'm trying to show off".

but when i got them she liked them.

Depending on season, dress, and mood...
S&W CS9, Glock 26 or 19, Browning Hipower, Ruger LCP, and, rarely, a Beretta 92 compact type M.

My mom carries an lcp everywhere she goes ie church store hanging the clothes out etc etc and my own wife carries a 442 but she cant leave in the car at work because she is a teacher so that means alot of times coming home from school and stopping at store she is unarmed,which really sucks.And 2 of my 3 daughters shoot but the 2 who do are not old enuff to have ccw 19 and 16.

My wife carries either an XD40SC or Ruger SP101 (2.25" barrel and bobbed hammer) in a cross-draw holster. She flirted with carrying my 3913 for a couple of weeks and found it easy to carry, but... she tried the 3913 at the range and didn't care for the transition from DA to SA. She also has some weird thing going in which she has convinced herself that she can't hit anything with a 9mm. Thus... she can't hit anything with a 9mm pistol. Any 9mm pistol, even my XD9SC which is identical to her XD40SC except for the caliber.
She loves 1911s, but hasn't found a way to carry one yet.

My wife has an S&W 640.
