All right - time to end this discussion about guys trying to pick out a gun for a girlfriend, wife, or other female associate: Is there a SINGLE guy in here who thinks they have the ability to go into a shoe store and pick out the exact pair of shoes his SO would actually buy?? Anybody?? Just because you know more about guns than she does, are you under some illusion that you in any way have any greater ability to pick out the right gun for her as the right pair of "absolutely adorable pumps"?? What you have in your head is a good idea of guns GUYS will like, and that doesn't mean diddly squat for an estrogen based life form. Want proof?? You know the kind of shoes guys like, and in particular what YOU like, so how come that doesn't mean a damn thing with women's shoes?? So what makes whatever you have in your head about guns any more relevant than what you have in your head about shoes? Seriously!! And let's talk about the hideously fragile male ego, and whether any guy in here could actually accept without some deep inner turmoil that while he liked a 9mm, the "little lady" found that shoting a 10mm was what she really liked the best. Sorry to tell you, guys, but I have actually met some of these ladies, and they had a ball with my 10mm with full power loads, and there were a few that really liked a 44 mag 4"bbl, and a few that really liked my 50 GI.
The best thing to do is let your SO go up to Bill's North and talk to Theresa Reiter, or a female CP instructor, and STFU and STFA!! And for all of those of you who want to continue to argue about this, please start out by actually asserting that you could actually go shoe shopping for the little lady and pick out what she would get herself.
