Re: Help With Wife's First Handgun
How small is she? My girl is really tiny, 4 foot 10in and the hands of a 8 year old girl. She is tiny. She could not hold an M&P, XD or the Beretta, though the M&P was the best of those by far.

Re: Help With Wife's First Handgun
My better half went through the same thing. Here are some options.
-Any 1911- But if she can't hold a hi-power she will probably still have a problem with a 1911.
-single stack sigs
-S&W 3913 or 908
- Kahr K9- This will more then likely be what she is looking for. My girlfriend loved it and it weighs around 25 ounces unloaded but it was a little out of our price range so she got the second best fit. S&W 908. This is the all metal Kahr not to be confused with the P models.
She needs a single stack is my guess. I have talked about this with several other guys that are looking for guns for thier wives. The Kahr is the smallest heavy gun that we could find. Also the Springfield EMP is pretty small but way to pricey. Don't overlook a good S&W revolver in .357 or my personal favorite the Ruger SP-101 in a 3in barrel. Just load .38 special instead of .357 mag. I would shoot for a gun between 23oz-33oz. This will be heavy but not overly so.
