Hope y'all can help . . . I'm wondering what handgun caliber you think would be best for my wife?
(My buddy says to get her something I can survive.) Ha - Ha
I'm going to take her out and shoot my .45acp, but expect her to be scared of it. If not, that's what I'll go with. But what do some of you have for home defense for the wife?
I let my wife try all the various & sundry handguns I had. She decided she liked my Colt Gold Cup best. She could not understand anyone being put off by shooting the .45 ACP. Of course, no-one had told her how difficult it is to shoot one, and how bad the recoil is. She didn't even know what I was talking about, when I asked her about the recoil! Now, the .45 is the only gun she's interested in shooting! And she can hit her target with it, too.
