Best Wife EDC Gun?

[Mgderf]

Those older steel wheelie revolvers...heavy enough to help absorb recoil, yet light enough to still carry comfortably all day long! Shooting standard pressure 158 grain JHP .38's is very comfortable in an SP101...my wife did that for years when she had her .38 SP101!
The best thing about the SP101's and the S&W J-frames, is the variety of grips available that helps make those little revolvers fit just about anyone's hand, comfortably!

I have an SP101 in .327 fed mag.
It's a sweet shooter, not much recoil, and light enough to carry all day
Only drawbacks right now is ammo availability, but I load for this caliber and have a stock of components and brass.

I looked into getting a .327 myself but the cost of ammo was prohibitive and availability was scarce... otherwise, great caliber with decent ballistics for multiple purposes.

I was already into the .327 when the SP101 became available.
I had/have a Taurus 605 snub nose in .327, as well as 2 Henry levers in .327.

The Ruger LCR is a good choice... .38 special or .357

My wife loves her performance center 380ez. Hell, so do I. It's a great gun.

May be time to reiterate.........It's not your call guys!

Damn right. My wife chose hers. I can't tell her what will fit and feel right in her hands.

I bought my wife a Smith Shield Ez 2.0 9mm and am completely convinced this is the perfect gun for her. It shoots great and lives up to the title EZ. The trigger is nice, the recoil and racking are all manageable for a gun of its size. I don’t think anyone would be disappointed if you purchased one.

I have the original 9mm Shield and I am very impressed with the 9mm 2.0 EZ... In my opinion they fixed everything that I complained about especially the heavy racking!

I'm right there with you. I have the original Shield as well. My wife could hardly rack it, but the EZ is perfect.

I'd say the best EDC for your wide or Gf would be either the M&P body shield or a smaller ruger? Opinions?

That's a nice firearm I've never been the type to kike revolvers for EDC what's the pros and cons? Perhaps change my mind?

Also what's a cheap and affordable EDC for a female? And what are some good home defense firearms for the house?

My wife just picked out a Glock 43X today. Sugar skull grip. Gonna get her an optics cut slide and a holosun. She's in love.

If you want to save a bunch of money and time, find a range that rents guns for her to try, or even better yet...a class for her to take.

I recommend an outdoor range if possible.

Mine shops for and buys her own. She likes her G2C in the house/truck and her CSX carry. Although she does keep trying to steal my 911 .380.
Her dislikes: Glock. Anything else without a thumb safety. Might talk her into trying out a ms hellcat some time.
