gtdist.com still has leo trade in glock 22's both in 2nd and 3rd generation at $289 and $309, shipping is $25. Cold hand arms, does $0 cost transfers. I was pleased with the gun I ordered.

I appreciate that, and I would love to get one, but the wife is uncomfortable without an external safety.

Suggesting a glock 40 for a new shooter is just cruel unless the intention is that she never touches another handgun in her life. They have too much recoil and muzzle flip for a new shooter.

The external safety is not because of the wife not being able to handle a firearm properly, it's another safeguard for the 5 year-old in the house.

I had a whole diatribe typed out about people and their superior attitude toward new shooters/gun owners, but I just deleted it. It's really not worth the hassle.

I bought a pistol and a shotgun today.

Taurus PT140 .40 w/stainless slide (I carry a PT145, so it's familiar, yet a little smaller, for her)
Winchester 1400 semi-automatic 12g

Both for $500

Another $66 for:
50 rnds of WWB 180gr .40FMJ
20 rnds of Winchester Supreme Elite PDX1 Personal Defense 165gr .40 bonded JHP
30 rounds (2 boxes) of Winchester 2.75" 00 buck

Spent a little time showing her safe handling, familiarizing her with her new gun and the functions. Now we need to get to a range sometime soon so she can practice. :( Unfortunately, my work schedule doesn't usually allow for much of that. It's been months and months since I even shot my own gun. :(

Thanks for the tip... I am puzzled though, as I can only fit 2 shells in the mag tube, for a total of 2+1. WTH? Looks like it should be 4+1 or 5+1..... but it's definitely full, and there's nothing jammed in there, I can see the piece protruding from the mag tube (sorry don't know what it's called) when it's empty, that the shell butts up to.

Ideas?

Oh, and where's a good place to look for accessories? You know, shorter home-defense barrels, pistol or tactical stock, etc.?
