The size of the JA fit her well. Her problem was the spring. The drawback was tough as tits since it was a blowback (like HiPoint pistols). She has had carporal tunnel (sp) in her wrist and it's not easy to work with a cheaply designed weapon.
She like the revolver, especially a 38 special w/o hammer she tried at OVO. I don't have anything to say either way about Bersa's since we haven't used them, but I'll definitely keep it in mind.
How does your wife carry her 38?
EDIT: Also, .380 is effin' expensive compared to my 9mm and bro's .22 (of course). I know 38 doesn't lend a hand to this but something in 9mm would be nice. In the end I really need to know shes comfortable with it and can use it if needed. I'd pay anything for her safety. Just eats at my pockets to take all of our arsenal shooting so if I can save on ammo it'll help.
EDIT 2: Sorry, didn't see this before for some reason.
I'll watch the vid at home. If you saw the .380 you wouldn't carry with a round in it either. Simple sprind design. Not the safest, and this is another reason I'm upgrading her. It's not a terrible gun, but I jsut don't feel comfortable with this particular one being carried with a chambered round.
LCR's have been a possibility. Buddy just got one. I'm going to have her test his. Thanks for the info.
