Wife finally decided on a carry gun

[karder]

My wife got her CHL a couple of months back, but had not acquired her own carry gun. She has carried a few of mine, but rightfully so, she wanted her own that she can train with and use exclusively. I finally got her to go gun shopping yesterday (I know, tough gig). We looked at quite a few things, LCR, LCP, Sig 238, Kimber Solo, Beretta Nano, Walther PPS, and so on. As we were looking around, the shop owner tells me that he "thinks" he has a Shield 9mm in the back that he had not put under the glass. Sure enough, he came out with a shiny new S&W. My brother has the same gun and she had fired that model a bit and really liked it. About 5 minutes later, we had the purchase wrapped up. Nothing says "love" like getting your gal a 9mm! I am really happy with her choice and I am thrilled that she will be carrying regularly. Time to trade out the pepper spray for hollow points! I gotta admit, I am getting a bit of gun envy as I lug around a full-size pistol while she has that neat little Shield tucked away. Now, I just gotta find and XDs for me!

Congratulations on the purchase! More congrats for the wife carrying! Will she be casting bullets and reloading soon?

Love stories like that always bring a tear to my eyes.

Congratulations on her choice of nothing less than a 9mm!

Awesome. Nice little gun in a 9mm. Wish I could get my lovely wife to carry. Congrats. I'm sure you feel much better knowing she is carrying as well.

Outstanding! Congrats to you both!

My wife just got a Glock 19 for Christmas and will be testing soon herself...
