Longtooth

I can't agree more...if she is going to pick up a gun, She better dang well be able to fire it...She understands that cost cannot be a factor here.

One eyed fatman,

What is a 2lb trigger job? How much force does my bersa 380 take ( I can't find the info anywere)? How much do the Glocks that were mentioned take? Can a gunsmith make a trigger pull easier or is that impossible due to the mechanics?

Racking the slide is out of the question. She cannot do that. And if I am not mistaken the CHL qualifications have nothing to do with loading a gun, it's all about accuracy--she will have no problem with that. I mentioned they were taking a CHL class, I guess, just because I'm glad to see them do that...sorry that it took a burglarized home to do it

What I am looking for is a gun that might be a little less of a stuggle for her to squeeze that trigger...maybe just a 1lb? less force than she had to use on my Bersa 380. Of course once she got that one pulled back it was smooth sailing.

If she can't squeeze the trigger, then the gun is worthless.

And if anyone would like to explain to her that once she feels comfortable with a gun and has her license in hand that there should be no reason she doesn't carry with her everywhere....Please list those reasons. I will certainly pass them on to my mom...meaning I'm going email her this link.

Thanks for the replies.

Any suggestions would be great. My mom is taking her CHL class this weekend and taking my Dad along with her. She has arthritis and not a lot of strength in her hands. She shot my Bersa 380 this past weekend, but it wasn't easy for her to squeeze that trigger. Any ideas?
