    Hand gun for my wife

    She is finally getting her CPL and I am wondering what to get her. It will be her every day carry but also used when hiking on trails in the woods.

    I'm thinking 9mm or 40

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    If you have a local indoor range with a variety of guns to try out I'd start there. Let her decide what fits her best and is comfortable for her to shoot. [emoji16]

    We do have one but I'm hoping to narrow down the list. They charge 10$ per gun you try and you have to buy their ammo 50 at a time at stupid prices.

    Typical of most places... we have one here that does date night on Friday's. One range fee and two free gun rentals.

    First I'd let her hold a few pistols and let her decide which 2 feels the best to her. Then try one pistol that's 40 and 9mm. Once she's deciding which caliber she can handle try the other one in that caliber.

    Consider a 9mm Browning High Power. It has s slender grip more suitable for smaller hands, and more comfortable to carry. At the same time it has large enough mag capacity. Also it is more affordable to shoot with the lower ammo cost. She will likely need as much practice as she can get. But the gun is not cheap, it is a Browning after all.

    My girlfriend loves my Beretta 92fs. It handles high power loads wonderfully and with a reduced recoil spring kit it really shoots nice and flat.

    Any experience with the Beretta PX4 Storm?

    Where do you get the Reduced Recoil Spring Kit?

    No experience with the storm, just Berettas.
    Wilson Combat carries a ton of stuff for the 92fs and other Berettas. I have some stuff posted for sale here in the forum.
