[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 1513047, member: 8239"] Actually I am married. Her son would have liked her to carry something like a Glock with a high capacity magazine and I would have as well. After letting her try to cock multiple semiautos and using various techniques, it was apparent that she didn't have the strength to use them reliably. The Beretta Tomcat would have worked but it's not particularly potent and, for someone who doesn't wish to practice a lot, maybe not that reliable. For those reasons, she ended up with a revolver (Charter Arms Lavender Lady in 38 Special) which she is happy with. There are issues with semiautos other than the strength needed to operate the slide such as jamming with limp wristing. To have a woman carry a weapon for self defense that she can't operate well for whatever reason is dumb and irresponsible. I can't speak to the reliability issue of the Beretta Tomcat but if practice with it proves it to be reliable, it would be better than nothing. [/QUOTE]
