Well, she has gotten to the point she doesn't like the S&W 642 she had, (she's recoil sensitive and has had two hand surgeries). I wasn't having much luck getting her to go to the range to practice but I did finally. Had her try out the G43, a Shield in 9mm, both a full size (9mm) and Commander size (.45ACP) 1911, a S&W M&P Compact, and then she wanted to try the Kimber Micro Compact .380. So I rented it for her. Dang! That woman put the first 6 shots dead center! And the next 6, and the next...etc. She loved it! She can rack the slide on it very easily, likes the controls and so on...and so while I was finishing up doing my level best to finally get some holes of my own in that big old steenkin' target, she said to hell with that damn 642 revolver, and went over to the sales side of Big Boys and bought herself a brand new Kimber Micro .380, The Advocate model. She is excited about shooting once again and that's important to me. She looked at its cousin, the Sig P238, but liked the Kimber a bit more and so that's what she got. I'm very pleased with it too. The little pistol is very well made, is one sharp lookin' little gun and much like a mini-1911. She also bought a carry set-up thing kinda like a belly band for ladies called a Can-Can Concealment belt, or something like that. Here's her new gun, purty little thing eh? (Looks are very important to my wife; I guess that's why she married me...)
