[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 746573, member: 1535"] My wife started out carrying a .22,then a .380,then a .357/.38. Now she's got a 9mm subcompact and she is looking to get into a compact or subcompact .40 - when I find the right one for her. She's very picky. And she's driving me crazy with it. I've been buying alot of them,letting her shoot them,then reselling them later just trying to find her something she's comfortable with. She's about 5'4" x 130 On the flipside I went through the same thing kind of recently trying to find a motorcycle to buy. Ive been riding around on an old 75' XLCH Sportster 1000 when I'm at my other home in California. My dad bought it new then gave it to me when I started riding street bikes after years of motocross racing. Its been needing to be taken off the road for a thorough rebuild for a while. So I went down to the Harley dealership closest to me in Jamestown,Ca to see about getting something just to putt around town on while I was rebuilding the other. I didnt need anything major as I didnt have a lot of cash to blow on one and then rebuild the other at the same but still wanted something to ride around on. I wasnt going to be going very far on it.
