I have a S&W 340pd that I carry all the time in an uncle mikes pocket holster. My oldest daughter has just turned in her paperwork for her concealed carry permit. I have had mine for about 9 years. Should I give her the 340 and then carry my Walther P99 AS or should I look for another S&W to replace my 340pd? I am starting to develop arthritis in the old finger joints.

Sir, IMHO you'd be wise to let her pick her own sidearm. Guide her toward quality guns, have her test-drive various things, and pay for it if you like, but she needs to pick it out herself.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

That is very good advice!

(and get ready to be surprised...)

Stay safe,

Hard to beat the Walther P99 - it's my favorite semi-auto!

I have to agree with Ron. I bought my wife a new Lady Smith and she hated it. Or maybe it was the + P's that she hated. I would let her try a few out for size and fit and then let her pick the one that she likes. You might like a semi and she might like a revolver. Especially if it's for CC. You want her to be comfortable with it especially if she ever has to use it in a "situation".
