Need help with ANOTHER wife gun

[steelfingers]

I have LCRs in both .22Mag and .38Spl. While the trigger in the .38Spl variant is very nice for a DAO revolver, the trigger in the .22Mag is significantly heavier. To paraphrase something I read here a while back on OSA, the LCR magic is gone on the rimfires. It's not a bad snubbie handgun, but I can usually find something else I'd rather shoot. Been considering applying the "sell it if you haven't used it in the last year" rule but I've had too many other projects vying for my attention.

If you can't find one to try out you're welcome to give me a holler the next time you know that you're going to be in OKC. To my knowledge I haven't been blacklisted from any of the ranges around here. Only thing I ask is that you minimize the gloating when it turns out that even with a busted wing you're still a better shot than me.

Thanks. I would enjoy shooting with you but I'll put money on you outshooting me. Safe bet.

If racking the slide on a semiautomatic a problem, get her to try a S&W Bodyguard .380.. She will like the built in laser.

When my wife decided she wanted to carry she tried the guns I had on hand but didn't like them much. We drove to H&H in OKC and rented every gun that might fit her. I didn't really like her choice but I'm not the one shooting it. She chose a Kahr TP9. Found one in Tulsa the next week. (Recently she mentioned that she would like to try G43)

Be sure and fire enough break in rounds . Kahr pistols usually need them before they function 100%. I have a CM9 that makes a great pocket gun. The CW380 that I bought new needed about 125 break in rounds.

Just make sure your "Another wife" doesn't meet you other wife. But if you get them the same gun, easier to manage.

My bad. Let me clarify. I have a wife I want to protect and an EX wife that would like to kill me. I think it obvious which on I want armed.

My wife has the same problem she got a Walther pk380 lightest recoil spring out there. Racks it no problem and very little recoil shoots it very well

no hang ups when pulled out and I don't need a holster.

According to Tom Gresham you DO need a pocket holster that covers the trigger and guard. He talked about this last Sunday, citing a case where the ND led to the carrier losing a leg.

It's the only item in my pocket....absolutely nothing to get hung up on nor the trigger to discharge on.

No hammer...

No one knows I have it...

The first two that came to mind have been mentioned. The New 380 S&W with the easy rack slide, and the LCR in .327 Fed Mag. I would lean toward the LCR, I would feel more confident in the .327 fed mag over a 380.
