ready2hunt Report post Posted June 18, 2016 Glock gen. 22 .40 cal was my duty weapon- get that one if your gonna buy. Interchangeable parts, easy to replace and low maintenance/cost. I love the glock .45 as well and is my preferred self dense handgun as far as semi autos go. 9mm is a waste in my opinion. (no offense to the 9mm lovers) Yes it can kill, so can a .38, .22 or a pellet gun. Get something that is going to do some damage even if it's not a perfect shot. Colt .45 225gr critical defense ammo is my one of my favorites. Packs a punch. Saw a guy get shot in the belt buckle with a 9mm- stopped the bullet but not the threat- No thanks. Even if I am shooting someone with body armor I want a bullet that is going to make the person or animal think twice before taking a second hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prowlerMan Report post Posted June 18, 2016 Get her whatever caliber she shoots best. Stopping power of a larger caliber doesn't matter if she can't hit her target with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted June 18, 2016 Get her whatever caliber she shoots best. Stopping power of a larger caliber doesn't matter if she can't hit her target with it. Exactly. I had the XDS in 45, but couldn't get quick, accurate follow up shots because of recoil. Switched to the 9mm, gained capacity and cut split times in half.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted June 19, 2016 1911, xd40, glock 22/23/19 (9mm for the 19). A aluminum frame 1911 would be sweet. What did she like at SW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
