[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4139791, member: 13337"] For many years I carried a Beretta 85 in my carry satchel,,, A few years ago I swapped it out with a Beretta 81 I got from Classis Firearms. I liked the idea of 12 rounds of .32 ACP,,, Over 9 rounds of .380 ACP. One more triple-tap to defend myself with I do know several people who carry .22 semi-auto's for self defense,,, Whether that's a good idea is always up for debate. My 77 year old sister wants to start carrying,,, Since her husband can not carry anymore. We have tried and she absolutely can't handle more than a .22,,, Well she can handle my little Taurus 25-PLY in .25 ACP,,, But in reality it's no better than a HV .22 round. I'm going to take her to the range with one of my Kel-Tec P-17 pistols,,, 16+1 rounds of a nasty HV .22 round is nothing to sneeze at,,, I believe that 40 grain Mini-Mags should do the trick. My sister will practice enough to become proficient handling the pistol,,, But she'll never have the hand strength to handle any centerfire,,, Even that mild shooting Beretta 81 jumps out of her hands. Not ideal,,, But I believe it's the best compromise. The reason I'm recommending the Kel-Tec,,, Is that mine have proven to be very reliable. Both pistols have over 1,000 rounds each,,, With no malfunctions at all. Even using el-cheapo bulk ammo from Wal Mart,,, Those pistols just keep on spitting bullets,,, And they are very easy to clean. I wish she could handle at least a .380 ACP,,, But any gun is much better than no gun,,, And 17+1 rounds beats 10 any day.. JMHO - YMMV Aarond . [/QUOTE]
