picture is cool! why is it chicks always lean back? my kid and my wife do it and everyother shot i have to push them back into the "lean"weird
-
yes USP 9mm is exact gun I am talking!
belive me I started out thinking a 380 found out fast they flip even more cuz of weight. then thought 32 but before i got to into that the Wilson was a pretty good hit. So of coarse I will go with it as I can now justify it (sorta) I can shoot it yet still feel safe when not at home that she can take care of buisness if needed
My main goal is someday have her shoot my M4 but I just doubt it she tiny and scared of it.

love the 1911s. as you already know I am just looking for my first!
who made you the punisher grips? very cool specialy on the kimber. Goes very good together
-
It's not a bad strategy......don't knock it until you've tried it!........worked for me to secure some Elites.....Tactical and Professional size.
oh man I need another wife so 'She" could get one also. lol beautys bro very nice.
-
And, uhm...this whole thread started primarily because she was 'recoil sensitive' with a 9mm...so you're choosing a .45?? I smell ulterior motive all over this thread..."Hey honey, *they* said I should get a Wilson .45 for you, yeah they are $2500, but aren't *you* worth it!?!?!?"
...good onelol there is some truth to your point but honestly have you shot a 9mm HK and a 45cal Wilson?
the plastic flips and the wilson pushes back. for her it is alot more confortable to have it push back to her instead of barrel flip.
I would guess the trigger helps to but not sure for her.
-
I thought she had a problem cycling the slide?
That Wilson Combat is a sweet, sweet 1911 but from what I understand you're giving someone that doesn't like range time a SAO weapon so she'll have to be very comfortable working the slide and the hammer if she wants to clear it on her own. You know your girl best but I'd get an auto with a decocking lever if I were shopping for someone that didn't like to practice. One man's opinion.
On the other hand, that CQB is niiiiiice.
yes she does have a hard time with the slide. but as said my buddys wasnt nearly as bad as my HK. all feels the same to me. no need for decocking once its loaded she is gonna unload it all on who ever is inside the house.
I will admit it might not be the best for her but it worked pretty good at the range and I have no other ideas
and I will be honest I always wanted a cool 1911,lol
-
Ok made up my mind. going with Wilson combat compact CQB.
killing two birds with one stone. I always wanted a "cool" 1911 and she shoots them alot better than my plastic guns so its a win win.
now if Benelli ever made a M4 in 20 gauge that might be the way to go for her
-
yea I have not missed a show yet. thanks for the update!
-
so you do hear the clicking? if so something very weird is wrong. sorry to ask about clicking again but you didnt anwser
-
P2000 lem is another good choice to try
If she is not going to get range time have her aim for head shots or left ear and she may get chest hits
LOL she is backwards she aim center mass and will put a very nice groupe in the left hand,lol with a stray evey now and then in center mass. I tell her she is good to go if her attacker has weapon in left hand and at his side.
my guess 25 feet away what I like here to shoot at
-
yes all great advise but as Paladinjme said i cant get her that much range time. she likes to go "sorta" but life dont allow for it and she would pick other stuff as more important. I agree to a point with here choices but if something bad happens then I disagree,lol
There are plenty of ranges that rent guns just never the stuff i would pick for her. i will have to hunt around a bit more.
really leaning towards a 32 as i read recoil is alot less than 380. I figure a 32 will keep most people away and the ones it dont she dead no matter what gun she has anyways. peace of mind for her is also a plus lol for me also.
weird ass people out there is all I can say. all this drama just cuz I watched the news 1 time in 10 years now i am all freaked out. Great media control I tell ya. No more news for me

HK P7M8
Browning Hi-power
Both of the above usually fit women's hands very well; but the P7 is the better choice.
didnt know the P7 was 32cal? I never liked that cocker thing on the grip.
I used to have a .25cal beretta and i see that they also have 32 in same design. I liked it cuz no matter what you were gonna get off one shot as the top tube lifts up and loads a round/ saves you from having to pull the slide also witch my wife has a problem with also
-
Since money is not an issue, why not just trying to do it the way I did. My wife is only about 5 feet tall and just over 100lbs. (I'm 6'1, 240 - lol) I started her off shooting a .22LR until she started getting into it and relaxed. I won't get into my targets for her since it's a little unorthodox and probably not for everyone but once she really got into the groove with it, I moved her up to the 9mm and she is now a damn fine shot and likes going to the range. Her "cringe" step is also gone like she used to get whenever it was her turn to shoot which was a big thing with me.
I find that with women, you cannot just find that ONE perfect thing for her right off the bat that will still be effective in a bad situation and need to start small and then work up in a progression as she is ready. Also, the more rounds the handgun holds the better so she will stay up there shooting longer. With smaller mags, it's too easy for them to step off before she has really taken the matter in hand.
It's just how I do things and my wife is a darn good shot now.
makes great sence but range time is not gonna happen to progress like that. for me ya I go all the time but her no way. I need to try and fix best I can with what I have to work with.
great advise though

Are you a Sacramento guy Rocket? That was my old stomping ground for about 20 years

Sig, Beretta and Keltec all make 32ACP's that are generally regarded well. There is a substantial difference in .380 and .32 in regard to energy (and therefore recoil), as the .380 generally has a 90gr bullet and the .32 has a 65gr and they have similar velocities. Also, .380 ammo is generally easier to find than .32, something else to consider.
I will check sig and beretta but quick google again brought me to this
kelttec p32 and crimson trace laser
http://www.impactguns.com/crimson-trace-lasergrip-for-keltec-p3at-and-p32-lg430-610242000036.aspx
gun is 300 and laser is 200,lol, 500 seems like alot for what it is but whats $500 if she needs it
going to check Beretta now

Admittedly, .32ACP is not the best choice for 'stopping power', but the issue you were asking about was recoil. I agree with the revolver suggestion as far as manual of arms is concerned, but that also doesn't necessarily address the recoil issue. The Lady Smith, Ruger LCR and other alloy or polymer frame revolvers in .38spl can be a handful for small hands as well. That said, recoil vs. 'stopping power' is *generally* directly relative. You could try some subsonic 9mm loads and/or make sure the 9mm loads that you are using are 115gr bullets or less. But, in the end, time on the range to improve form / confidence is the best, and only real way to solve the problem.
I did some gooling about 32 vs 380. seems that most say they even and the 32 has noticable less recoil.
any brand to look for in 32? I am a HK guy but never seen them in 32. I have seen lil guns at range with built in laser ect I might have to go see what brands they were and ask if any good.
I understand the best is range pratice but that just aint gonna happen. she does go with me but no where near enough to get good. in Sacramento there was a guy breaking in houses and going in the "kids" rooms I will stop story there as i wanna kill just thinking about it. but that really got me thinking this "could" happen or something like it could happen. when I am not home. she cant use any of my guns other than the 9mm and she is not good at it. so I will arm her with what I think is best and get her to range as often as I can but never enough to get over the recoil she is to small to afraid of it. 32 is looking like something for her and i will do more research but if anyone has brand i should check out please let me know.

Besides generally being lighter, most .380's are blowback operated (i.e. Sig P230, Walther PPK, etc) this type of operation creates more felt recoil than recoil operated pistols of similar size & weight (i.e. Kahr PM9, Glock 26, etc). The Ruger LCP, Keltec P3AT and Sig P238 are recoil operated .380's...and there are others. These my be good options - although they are all very small and light and recoil (relative to other .380's & 9mm's) is still substantial. Obviously spending time @ the range and improving form and confidence is the *best* answer, but if that's not likely to happen, maybe moving down in caliber to .32 ACP is a better option. AVOID .25ACP...you are better off with a .22LR, close to the same energy with much less cost and generally better reliability. HTH.
.32acp humm that a good option as recoil and actuall stopping someone? never shot or even seen 32 before
any brands you can recomed for me to look at? price dont mater

I know this is not Benelli related but I respect alot of opinions here so I am asking here
I have HK usp 9mm and my wife has a bit of a time with the recoil she pushes down when pulling trigger. she also has very small hands. sure pratice can fix but she aint going to the rang that often and I want a gun she can shoot a lil better
I was thinking 380 but they are light and would have more recoil correct? not sure if my thinking is right on that?
do you guys have any recomendations on a 380? or any other cals?
as alway thanks for your help
oh to keep it Benelli related i went yesterday to range with my Eo tech on M4 and that is not even fair. I will dot your forhead with easy with that thing on. I was gonna swap it for a more better "looking" red dot but I just love the 65moa circle then 1moa dot i will not switch no matter how bad my OCD is.
Had 3 FTF but bolt was dry as can be and using bird shot. also had 1 FTF with rem low recoil buck. zero problems with slugs.
cleaning and gonna oil it up good tonight for next weekend

they charge CC right off bat and will credit card back if not in stock. that happened to me no big deal really. I belive his website shoes if in stock or not now?
regarless if he was to take cash now and you get in 3 weeks who cares you get product. this assuming you dont need that money to live on. if so then dont buy anyways I guess

Gotta be a cheese head to get a cheese head. I can offer him a New Glarus beer though. Only sold in Wisconsin, I like Fat Squirrel and Black Top the best.
Case, I think it's something like that moderator attitude of yours that's corrupting the state of California. Don't forget this is America we're in. We've been a happy forum long before you arrived and we'll continue to be one long after you're gone. We can handle ourselves without you telling us how to produce an informative and fun thread. It's a bummer to see what's happening to the gun laws of your beautiful state.
damn I dont drink but something called fat squirrel I think I would just cuz, lol

well super33 looks like I will be seeing the WI weather sooner than though. My training partner just took a fight for Rouge fights against one of the guys on the ultimate fighter season when Rampage and Rashad were coaches!
still trying to get them to pay for all our flights. I think its a small promotion cuz usaually they pay for me and other corner no problem and also include his wife. this time being weird.
You know fighting "MMA" is that Rouge promotion small?
-
Yuppers I hate the weather here too. but since Hookster keeps voting in Pelosi over there, I'll have to stay away!! HaHa
say it aint so! hooker are you being a commie?
-
and none of what i stated was a cheap shot Rocket, it is actually happening there. I do still love my home state but have NO desire to raise my 2 little ones in it. The only thing that state has left is a few good folks like yourself and the good weather. Oh and more people have left Ca and more have actually moved to Texas out of all 50 states. Not to mention I can fire my "Legal" full auto M4 and/or "Legal" Bazooka if i could find one...Ha Ha
in saying cheap shot I ment that in a fun way not as really taking one.
I agree not alot of good things here other than high paying jobs and the best weather around. I am a weather person i need cali stuff. been to texas many times and hated the weather walk outside and instant sweat and not just a lil i am talkin soaked.

Since this is an internet gun forum it was only a matter of time until I ran into a thread bashing California.
I've been a member for two weeks and I'm surprised it took that long.
Please stick to what you know, such as Benelli shotguns and/or SB249.
I'm glad that the bill was tabled but they will bring it back next year. Gun owners will have to fight the same fight again.
they are just messing with us bro. most guys here including super and texas are helpfull good guys. but they will take a cheep shot at us cuz they are pissed they cant live in the greatest state in the nation. lol texas come on really in jed clampit moved outta that **** hole
Carrier's New Large Bolt Knob in Black?
in Benelli

I do not have the black one so i can not say anything about it BUT, I do have slight OCD and lil things bug me bad and the muted bolt looks perfectly normal on there.
