Re: Need opinions on CCW for sister

(When she shoots at the range, there's usually men watching her because she is a good shot and is a little, 102 lb., gray haired 70 year old great grandma.)

And the correct answer is:

IF your wife is happy with her Kahr P9 that's all that matters.. :tiphat:

Best Wishes and good shooting to you both..

Re: Need opinions on CCW for sister

Dave,

P2000sk V3

Perfect for small hands, absolute reliability, amazing accuracy, offers 10+1 capacity, with the option of 13+1 (w/P2000 mags & X-grip). TDA platform.

I let my wife shoot the new P2000sk V3 first, and she loves it. She did experience a couple of "limp wristing" failures to eject very early on, but once I RESPECTFULLY SUGGESTED she adjust her grip, no more problems, period. My wife is 5' tall, 65 years old and has carpel tunnel surgery on both hands.. She was nailing the X ring from 7' before we quit.

For me the P2000sk V3 was perfect right out of the box. I'm 66, tired eyes, shaky hands, and the photo below shows the results of one mag shot from 7', two hands, resting on the frame of her golf cart. I consider 7' yards my personal maximum self defense practice distance, and I, obviously, was amazed at the inherent accuracy in this small sub-compact 9mm pistol.

My first few rounds were pretty much POA, but later rounds moved r. and lower. I'm a lefty, so I'm sure I was pulling my shots. Hopefully the more I shoot this little pistol the better my marksmanship will become.. No doubt the P2000sk is capable of smaller groups way beyond my skill level.

I'm an average marksman, at best... A younger person with steady hands and good eyes would blow the center of of the target...

A bit expensive? Yep.. But isn't she worth it? :evil2:

Best Wishes,

Jesse
