87GT Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 My wife wants a 9mm that is comfortable in her hands. Something small works. My glock is too long for her to shoot without hurting her hands. Show me what you got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What model Glock do you have? The reason I ask is, the smaller (lighter) the gun, the more felt recoil it's going to have. If you get her a smaller one, it's probably just going to make the problem worse.

If you get her a smaller one, it's probably just going to make the problem worse. I have a glock 21. We rented a glock 19 before and it fit her hands but she doesn't like the grip at all. She told me it hurts after shooting a box. We rented a S&W M&P 9mm and it was the same way. She loves the grip style of her revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Sounds like she needs to rent more so you can have an idea as to what you are looking for. Glock's have different grip angles than anything else. She doesn't like the M&P. The other popular one out there is the XD, after that you are looking at stuff that's not as common. If you can find a Bersa Thunder is 9mm, try it. Try a Walther P99. She probably wouldn't like the Rugers. Try a Springfield EMP. Honestly, i would suggest something that's the basic shape of the PPK Tyler is selling, which would include anything based off the Makarov design. Ladies seem to like that shape gun, but the problem is that they tend to be in oddball calibers, like .380 and 9x18MAK. But, if she likes revolvers, then say fuck it and get a .38 Special (like the one Tyler is selling, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 every thought about a sig 239? It is small, has a full metal frame so it is heavier than most subcompact guns = less recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I will try renting the guns listed above. I am not sure if NASR has all of those for rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost1647545489 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 S&W M&P 9mm compact great small gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nd4spd_150 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think the best firearm for what you are looking for is more thn likely either USP 9 compact, Desert Eagle also make a Baby Eagle small 9mm. My wife is tiny and liked both of them. NASR shouuld have both to rent if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 See if you can find a used S&W 669 or 6609 at Vances. It is a small frame all steel gun that fits great in smaller hands. SA/DA with a bobbed hammer. I have one as a carry gun, but it is too heavy to really carry IWB all the time. The weight should bring the recoil down.

87GT Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 So yesterday we rented a Walter car? I think. It was very small and she didn't like it. If you filled up the magazine it wouldn't slide forward when we cocked it. We had to remove the clip and remove 1 bullet and try again. I didn't like the trigger I felt I had to pull back too far for it to move the hammer. The first few times I pulled the trigger I thought it would go off sooner but I had to pull it back farther. Also the recoil was a little too high for me. I couldn't hit close to the red circle. My wife couldn't even hit the paper target with it. We rented another S&W M&P and we talked them into changing out the grip for the smallest one they have. She really liked it and it fit really well. We might end up getting one of these. I like the gun and shoot fairly well with it but not as good as my glock 21. Still I feel it is a good quality gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
