Ok boys and girls I'm at a point in my preps where I am taking a look at my stock and cutting out all useless fat. I am only stacking 55.6 /223 9mm and 12 ga.. i have gotten rid of all other ammo and weapons.....now to my point
I am useing a glock 19 as my main sidearm. So 9mm is a must. My wife loves 1911 due to the fact that they fit her hand more comfortable then all other pistols. She currently uses a kel- tec 380 pocket pistol as her EDC. But I'm wanting to get her something that would be a good purse pistol and EDC for WROL.
Any ideas?
I know they make 1911 in 9mm and it is not something I'm interested in getting into. And I'm hoping it can be a slim frame...
Also , that fucking Kel-tec is getting fucking sold .......THANK YOU SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!!!

Beretta Storm Subcompact 9mm
Simple design, accurate, easy to conceal, safety is a roll away firing pin so one in the chamber is safe, double action, 13 rounds, can use all full size Storm high capacity magazines.
Read up on this one. It is a great gun.

Maybe try Kahr Arms?

That XDSC is a really feaking sweet 9mm, but it may not be small enough, may not be comfortable enough to shoot, ect, ect, but I'd give it a look at least. She probably won't like it, but I've been wanting one for a while.
-
It's not a matter of being big or small. It's a matter of having a slim grip. For refference she finds the glock 26 ( sub compact) too bulky of a grip.

Kahr's are pretty slim.

I don't know if they have different sized grips for those are not. Its a double stack I believe, so its likely to be very big for her hand, if she hands small hands like my wife.
-
I completely understand her finding the Glock 26 feeling to thick....but by all means, stay away from Khar. THEY ARE OVER-PRICED JAM-O-MATICS.

Would a Browning Hi Power do the trick?
Ive never held one so I dont know how they feel compared to 1911s but I do know they sell mags that holds 18+ rounds for them now.

My buddy had one, and I liked it, and he never had a malfunction with it, either. I guess you might get lucky and get a good one.
-
Yea but I'm not spending 800 on a pistol. I'm trying to stay in the 400 range...the hi power is nice but I'm not dropping that kind of coin.

Get a used one. I see Royal Tiger Imports (who used to be IO, Inc.), has original HP's for sale.

Or find a HP-clone for around $300, get it refinished, some nice wood grips, and viola!, nice HP without breaking the bank.
-
It would be nice but I'm still trying to get some kind of compactiness. I was looking at the ruger lc9 or kel-tec pm 9 ...but there is way to much creep in the trigger ...
-
That LC9 is a hand cannon too! I heard its very uncomfortable to shoot because of all the muzzle flip and recoil.
-
My wide had a similar issue. She has a hard time shooting my Browning Hi Power. So she tried the Lady S&W. She had a problem with that one two.
Well to make a long story short she narrowed it down between a Sig Sauer (I forget which one but it was a 9 and had a single stack mag) and the Ruger SP101 spurless. She bought the spurless.
My neigbor up at the BOL was looking at handguns too. She tried all different flavors (All semi auto's) and didn't like the grip on any of them.
Well one day my wife and I were up at the BOL and we heard a knock on the door. It was our neighbor who wanted to show us the new hand gun she had bought. It was a Ruger SP101 with a hammer. She said it was the only handgun that fit her hand.
So there you go; two women, independently picking the Ruger. Is there half moon clips for a 9mm wheel gun available?

ruger lc9 or try out a M&P9 compact

ruger lc9 or try out a M&P9 compact
Is the m&p thinner in the grip?
-
Trigger on the lc9 sucked!!!! I had never shot one but had my wife rent one at the range one day she said she hated it so I shot it some, there was a half inch of travel in the trigger [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at . And i ike rugers but I would not get it for my wife, the wife and her friend both of which dont shoot much loved this little walter .380. My advice if your wife has a kel-tec .380 she like get a kel-tech 9mm.

They have interchangeable grips, at least mine at work does.

She hates ot and hates the trigger. She had that thing since before we met. I think the thimg is a piece of shit Anne if i can't sell it when I pick up her new one....I'm gonna go " office space " on that thing.
I hate that pistol more then my mother in law.
-
Dude try and find a llama in 9mm, i have one in .380 i got the wife (she hates it). Buts its a mini 1911 sweet little pistol i love it. They made them in 9 but the company went out of business some time ago but i see them used a good bit.

Is that the same company as bursa? I'm looking at reviews for them right now
-
Im not sure I got the .380 from 1 of my customers at a killer price, never heard of them until then. After i got it I read some reviews online and there were some guys that carried them as back ups in vietnam and said they were great guns.

M&P has an adjustable grip
the reason i chose the M&P for my groups gun is because the women in my roup hated the glock grip, but they liked the M&P one
i'd have her give one a try at a gun store

I've heard nothing but positive feedback about the CZ-75, although I don't have any personal experience with them so I can't give you an actual review. but the specs look like they fit the bill. 15 rds of 9mm, supposedly CZ took the best aspects of the 1911 and the HiPower and mixed them for the model 75. I would imagine it feels very similar to a 1911 in the hand. (obviously it's not a pocket gun but I never believed in sub-compact anyway. go big or go home.)
also, quick story for you guys. I've been wanting to tell you guys about this for a little while but didn't feel like it was worthy of it's own thread so here goes.
long story short: wife never liked guns, I brought my first one home and she was pissed, she eventually got used to them and it was no longer an issue.... still never got one of her own though...
ok, fast forward a couple years... I turned into a big POS and was sucking at life in a major way and she left me because of it. we spent a few months apart and the situation was so hard on me that it scared me stupid and I straightened myself out in a hurry. ok so anyway, all that being said, one day she and I are talking on the phone and she agrees to let me come over and spend some time with her (for the first time in months) and lo and behold... what do I see when I get to the house? a motherfucking 1975 Mossberg 500! 8-shot fucking riot gun!
moral of the story: be persistent in your beliefs and eventually you just might rub off on those who are close to you. getting the wife on board is probably the most important prep of them all! (I'm so proud of her [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co )

Agree with this. Very under-rated firearm. And the prices aren't that horrible.

if you carried a purse with a gun in it you wouldn't believe in go big or go home
all my gf's empty out all their change to lighten up their purses......

Don't know a lot about Taurus's , but they make the 709 Slim and 740 Slim.

Mountain knows of which he speaks. Any gun is better than no gun. (And hell no I don't carry a man purse!)

Umm my wife is not only on board with our preps. She handles all the medical side of it. She is a former cop for LVPD and a paramedic. She knows her way around afew things.
The point of this thread was if anyone knew any slim framed pistols in 9mm that hold 10+ rounds and are not complete garbage.
She has her rifle but we are looking for a good all around pistol
-

I don't trust Taurus with making airsoft guns, let alone the real thing....I have had two of them fall apart while I was at the range
-
Basically the CZ-75 is a hi-power with double-action capability. It is a fine machine.
-
How about the Walther PPS ? It's 9 comes with a 7 rd. mag ( 6 and 8 rds. available ). A little pricey, but you could get a used one for 450.00 to 500.00.
