My wife attended a "girls day out" gun class today and came home to tell me she wants a M&P semi-auto pistol. To date she has owned a S&W Bodyguard .380 - didn't feel right in her hand, trigger pull too long and hard plus she wanted more "bang". She currently owns a Ruger LCR 38 Special +P which she handles well. However, she wants to go back to semi-auto for self defense.
She has fired my .45ACP and my son's 40 S&W and is not intimidated by either. I have read several positive reviews on the S&W M&P pistol which was the handgun used by her instructor. Is someone on OSA using one for CCW? What is the recommendation - 9mm or 40 S&W? Other features that should be considered?
Thanks for any input.
