[QUOTE="oknavy, post: 1450958, member: 5713"] +1 on taking a good class prior to getting serious about choosing the right pistol or revolver. My wife attended two of Tammy Pinkston's classes when she used to teach at H&H. She tested M&P, XD, Kahr, Glock, CZ and Stoeger 9mm before she settled on the M&P 9c. She is 5'3" and really appreciates the relatively light pull required to work the slide and chamber a round. For your wrong-handed wife, note that M&P has ambi slide release and thumb safeties. Regarding sharing the pistol, M&P also has back straps that are meant to fit hands of different sizes. I don't have huge hands,but I'm a foot taller than my wife and have no problem adjusting to the smaller grip length of the compact M&P even without changing the backstrap. It comes with both flat and extended mag base plates...choose the one you like best. As many have mentioned, H&H has a good selection and a range available to test different models. Last thought: have your wife look here for a female perspective on weapons [url]www.corneredcat.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
