I said ok that's not a bad idea. I look around on-line and see the Kel Tec .380 and the new Ruger .380 and think this might be the way to go. I did get the Walther PP out of the safe and show it to her and she said its a little big. Any opinions on a good carry piece for my wife?

I've heard excellent reports on both models. For a revolver, the Ruger SP101, or even a Lady Smith would be good. You might take your wife to a gun store and let her pick up the pistols and get a feel for them. And then, of course, buy a couple you like and want first, under the pretense of thinking they might work for her. Kevin in Or.

I have one and like it for summer carry. 100% reliable, won't break the bank. It's a nice gun. But it is similar to the Walther. Greg

That being said if I was buying a new one I think I'd get a Ruger, they wern't available when I bought mine. But I see no reason to sell my Kel-tec to buy a Ruger. Second choice would be a J frame smith with an alloy or scandium or titanium cylinder.

Just point and pull the trigbger. I ahve a S&W Bodyguard, alloy frame, stainless cyulinder and barrel, rubber grips to take up the shock, certified for +P. It stays in my pocket a lot, and would be great for a woman. I also think highly of taking her to a gun store (or gun show) to handle and see the selection, and then get what she likes best. Boy! Does this ever need proofreading. Last Edited By: Colin 01/04/09 01:25 AM. Edited 1 times.

I did get the Walther PP out of the safe and show it to her and she said its a little big. Any opinions on a good carry piece for my wife? Will she be carrying it on her body or in her purse? How is her hand/wrist/arm strength? Is she into the shooting sports also, or is she new to it? I'd take a look at what she is physically able to shoot, as well as her knowledge of the workings of a pistol and then go from there. With a semi-auto, would you feel comfortable with a pistol with no safety? If not, would you feel she'd remember to throw the safety off if she had to use it? Revolvers have no safety, and personal rounds can be a bit on the hot side.
