I know. For me I love my Glocks. But a couple of things concern me with her having a semi auto pistol.

1). She has carpal tunnel pretty badly in her weak hand, I am concerned about her ability to operate the slide in clearing a malfuntion, changing mags, etc.... She has no problem on the range wen she's relaxed and proper stance yada, yada, yada...

2). Revolver is less prone to malfunction.

3). Revolver can be fired through clothing, purse, etc.... multiple times if necessary

4). If a revolver doesn't go bang the first time, just pull the trigger again, no slide to manipulate.

5). G26 wins hands down in capacity, especially with the +2 extension.

6). She is more accurate with the G26.

There are pros/cons to each I guess.

Re: I'm askeered of my wife...

My wife has recently become interested in getting her CHL ( :hurry: :hurry: :hurry: :hurry: ) and we have shot TONS of different handguns, including Glocks, Sigs, Kahrs, Kimbers, S&W Revolvers, etc....and when all the dust settled she flat shoots the Glocks better than any of the others. We will be getting her a G26. If I thought she would carry it all the time like she should it would probably be a G19. Now granted my Glocks have trigger works and I installed reduced power recoil springs in them to make it easier to operate the slide, but she flat likes them and shoots them better than the others. I would still eventually like to get her an airweight revolver, but for now she has made it abundantly clear that she wants a Glock.

The Glock magazines will hold full capacity but that last round can be challenging to say the least, especially on new magazines. Get you an UpLula magazine loader and all will be golden. You will wonder how you ever got by without it. Also, buy you a Glock disassembly tool. If you insist on removing the floor plate of the magazine you will need it or something similar as well as need it to detail strip the pistol.

Welcome to the world of the best battle weapon ever built. ;-)
