Have you checked out the S&W Shield for the wife? They're available, have a proven track record and are inexpensive.

Good info. I was getting in line to get one since it does intrigue me. I think I will wait for the 2nd or 3rd gen to look again.
What has my interest now is the Walther CCP and it's "Soft Coil gas-delayed blowback" ... That is until my bubble gets burst on that one too ...

My experience with modern Walthers has been good (P99c is my carry gun), but I have to say that the CCP seems to be a solution looking for a problem in Walther's line. Doesn't the PPS already take care of that niche, and arguably do it better?

True. I must say that the more I continue to look for a different carry gun the more I want to just stick with my revolver.

walking through a gander yesterday and they had one of these in the back. the guy brought it out and said he couldn't sell it until the sale on Thursday as he only had one (for the advertised sale on these). even without the negative feed back I don't think I would have bought it after handling it. the safety was the killer, had a hard click to get it to disengage.

we're looking at the shield now or a possible revolver.
