Wifes new gun

[yote hunter]

Wife picked out her new gun today, she don't know it but shes gonna get it for her birthday. Hee Hee, I played it down told her she don't want that ugly pink thing and we will keep looking to see what else is out there ? She looked at about 10 guns today and said that one felt the best, so what do you do ? I know what she means, so it is what it is. Looks like a Walther PK380 it is...

Wish I could get my wife into a gun like that in9-mm . She is arthritic in her hands slightly ,and has hard time pulling back the slide . She shoots a 38 SW lady smith and the recoil is a joke . I fgot her to shoot my gp 100 last time we went to the range ,now she wants it . So how easy is that so called girls gun rack?? I got to get her to try that gun , so I can keep my gp 100.

Because of the size, caliber, and locked breach design, the PK380 is about the easiest gun I have ever found to rack the slide on. Recoil is nearly non-existent too, and even the hot Buffalo Bore +P offerings aren't that much to hold onto. Loaded with +P, that little .380 isnt too far off from a light bullet 9mm offering. For my wife, it proved to be bigger than she was wanting for the caliber that it is chambered in, but for a recoil sensitive person, or someone who has difficulties with the slide on most other guns, this one is an excellent option.

That's cool! Guns make excellent gifts.

nice, yote!
does your wife shoot your Glocks?
that Walther's recoil will feel like a pellet gun compared to your .40 caliber Glocks!
cool gift, indeed

Just did the same thing with my wife a few weeks ago. She handled numerous different guns and settled on the Beretta Nano. Wasn't what I would have bought but it fit her well. I did talk her out of the pink frame but I think she has been looking at DuraCoat Refinishing | Hand Guns & Accessories | T & Z Armory so I'm thinking it might not stay black. Happy wife happy life ya know!
