  It's the same guy that said a sword would be his home defense weapon.
Right now he's sleeping last nights drunk off.
 He don't know ****.

Some people think a Glock is the solution to everything.  I had to try and help my wife find a handgun she could use.  Just for kicks, I handed her a Glock 17 - she had a hard time racking the slide.  I tried her on a Walther PPK - even more difficult to rack the slide, S&W 659 - nope; CZ 75B - nope, Browning Hi-Power - nope, 2 different 1911's - nope.  And, my wife is neither weak nor old.  She is actually quite athletic.

I finally handed her a Boberg XR9s - fit her hand perfectly, she loved the trigger and could even manipulate the slide.  I told her "sorry - you aren't getting my Boberg, unless I can find another one".   (That was really selfish of me, I know  

So, I tried her out on several revolvers:  S&W J-frame 38 - trigger was too stout; Original Dan Wesson 357 - she loved the trigger and liked the fell of the gun, but it was a bit heavy.  I didn't even let her know I had a couple of Colt Pythons (man, I'm a dick).

I really went through a bunch of other handguns with her until I remembered that I have a Kahr K9.  I handed her the K9 (DAO), and she loved the trigger.  Liked the weight.  Could manipulate the slide and she was comfortable with one in the chamber given the double action only trigger.  Perfect - that's her gun now.
