Help me pick out a concealed carry gun for my wife

[News Shooter]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


Thank you.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


Thank you.

The best advice anyone can give you is to involve her in the decision and let her make the choice after she has had a chance to handle and shoot as many different handguns as possible.

The biggest mistake many husbands make (other than the obvious!) is to try to choose a gun for their wife. If she is going to carry it, she should make the choice.

Sorry, I was being too subtle

I was making fun of threads on other boards that constantly ask this stupid question to which you gave the absolutely correct answer to.
I don't even have a wife but if I did I would no more buy her a gun without her involvement than I would a dress...for her

Look for a post by Mike Nastek (sp?) of NEShooters. It might be in the training forum. He wrote up a great piece on this.

Yup Dave. Way too subtle.

The people that ask that question might as well ask, "Help me pick out shoes for my wife."

 

[Chris]

shoes?

My Wife is half Filipino, the last thing I need to help her pick out is shoes....

Can't go wrong with any one of the S&W .38 +P Airweights. 638, 637, 642 will all do the job well, are very light and very concealable.

Or perhaps an M&P 9.

 

[Cross-X]

Get her a snubbie. No offense.

 

[bazfoo]

For a small fee of a concealed carry for myself

Here is the link to the article I wrote. It is as real as it can get regarding the topic. I think I'm still paying the loan off for Denise's guns.

Best suggestion take her to the range with people who have a variety of firearms and let here shoot them all and make her own choice.

You cannot try on a pair of shoes for someone else and expect them to fit them like they do you. Would you buy a pair of shoes for your lady?

Is anyone else confused by this thread in light of his other thread... what am I missing?

Are you still in the long miserable marriage and want to buy her a gun so she can shoot you for taking the hot 53yo to the range?

Easy to use, reliable, and will hurt no matter what, go with a J-Frame. Of course bring he to S&W and have her try some of them out first. 38, 32 or even 22 Mag will make someone stop what they are doing.

I think most of you missed Dave uber-subtle sense of humor (that he clarified in the quoted post above). HE'S MAKING FUN OF THREADS THAT ASK THIS QUESTION!

Think about it. The premise itself - that a bunch of anonymous forum denizens could ever pick out a gun for anybody's wife - is quite ridiculous, yet it seems to come up about once per day.
