Post by: BK Dave on December 04, 2012, 02:44:37 PM: Well I tried real hard to sway her to a G19,
But she's too hi brow for a ugly black gun, has to have a "pretty 1911". Lol
Mostly a Range gun, so weight isn't an issue

Nice looking piece, but not the greatest shooter.

Interesting, one of her requirements was being able to easily work the slide. She handled the Glock just fine, but ya I don't wanna waist $1300+ on a gun she won't shoot..,

Does it have to be a 1911?
Sig P938 is possibly the coolest looking new pistol I have seen.
It's 9mm, and it's a Sig.
You can split the $500 savings with me :chuckle:

My dad and quite a few friends have the P238 in 380, and the All LOVE it!! That's the gun I tried to get her, but the dang slide was so small she had a hard time pulling it back. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on the 938 yet, but that is a great idea!
