Hello everyone-
Thanks for letting me post here. I'm looking for a carry gun for my wife. She is left-handed, a beginning shooter, and has small hands. Any suggestions???
She shot my Glock 19, but had a little trouble controlling the recoil. She also noted that the trigger reach was too far for her hands, citing the length of the grip from backstrap to frontstrap (the same applies to the Glock 26). She shot the CZ 83 and Sig P232 and did alright with them. She liked the Kahr CW9 because of the slimmer grip, but it may not fit her purse very well. Would any of you guys let your wife carry a Kel-Tec .380? What about the the new Ruger LCP coming out next month? I kind of like the Sig P232 for her because of two very important factors: 1) the magazine release on the bottom (thus ambi), and 2) the slide releases by racking it anyway, rather than a slide release lever (thus also ambi).
I haven't considered a revolver (hammerless?) because the .38 may be a little too much for her, and also the low round count. I did find out about a company called Charter Arms that makes a Left Handed .38 that will accommodate 38+P.
Any other opinions or suggestions you folks have would be much appreciated, especially any left-handed female shooters out there. Thanks and God bless.
