Buying two guns for adult kids

[Ghost]

I have not shot one nor held one but I've heard nothing but good things about the ruger LC9s. Might be one you should have her try. Note: I did not say LC9, big difference.

I only had a problem with the Kahr PM40, would bounce out of battery and I could reproduce almost 100% if I wanted to, they never got that one fixed. I believe the problem was, and they told me this, that they used the same recoil spring assemble in the PM40 as they did in the PM9. If I locked in and shot, the PM40 would bounce out of battery, if I did a loose grip like limp wristing, it ran fine. I still have Kahrs in the P380, PM9, PM45 and P9 and my brother has owned 2, still has one. We have had zero problems with them and my PM9 has been shot quite a bit. I have shot several brands of hollow point ammo, currently carry Corbon and all shoot great in my PM9. I have also take training that we had to transition from our primary handgun to a backup and I used my PM9 which never failed either using the cheap Federal, Winchester and Blazer brass FMJ ammo. The P9 I use as a class and training gun, many, many ladies have shot, zero problems.

This^^^^^ I've never been a fan of the Ruger LC9 because of the long heavy trigger pull (and I LOVE Rugers), but the new LC9S is totally different with a very smooth, light trigger pull and a short reset! It will be my next purchase once I recover from Christmas.

I'm bringing this back from the dead for a minute. After much shooting, I am purchasing an LC9s for my daughter, and we bought a HK VP9 for my son.

I'm still not positive this is the right gun for my daughter, but someone has to make a damn decision. I couldn't find an LC9 in the rental's, but had her shoot the LCP and she has finally gotten more comfortable with a smaller gun.

So the question. Is it wrong to get her the muddy girl camo version?

Update:

Had them both shoot 4 different guns.

Nice job!

Small gun = big kick; big gun = small kick. [Basic rule-of-thumb, YMMV.]

If your daughter goes to the range enough the flinch will go away. I don't know anyone that needs an excuse to shoot more often.

Depends on what the gun is firing though.

Lc9s is a great gun. You'll have a choice of safety or no safety. Also, should she change her mind, muddy camo is much harder to resell. Black is best.
