Nick,

Please take her to Champion's I think they have a Kahr among the rental guns.

I took my wife several places to shoot different rental guns. She did not like the Glock 23 or 27. She didn't like the Kahr. I didn't either. For both of us, it was the trigger reach being too short.

She dislikes the Kel Tec's most of all (P32 and P11). Being light in weight makes the recoil harsh.

Her hands down favorite gun is the SIG P225!!! She says she has never picked up a gun that feels as comfortable in her hand. It's too big for CC, for her.

She chose a SIG P239. Yes it weights more than a Kahr or a Glock and it's bigger too. But, she shoots it well and she is willing to tote the extra weight because it dampens the recoil.

I wrote all of this to point out: Let HER shoot it 1st and let her try things you might not choose for yourself.

It was my wife's idea to try the P239. I had dismissed it before as being too heavy.

You might have her try the S&W 39XX (I don't know the exact model) that they have at Champion's. I have read may good things about that gun. You don't have to have the "Lady Smith" version($$$) Other 39's are functionally the same, just cheaper.

If it's uncomfortable for her to shoot, she won't want to carry it, no matter how cheap or how expensive it is.

Regards, OE
