When my wife was looking at at new CCW

I took her to look at all of them. It's a great idea but she was seriously put off by the grip safety. It don't bother me but she was not having any of it. There was some little Walther (CCP?) that was blow-back in 9mm that surprisingly was easier to rack than the S&W! Ditto the Ruger small 9's, they were pretty easy to rack too. She HATED the Ruger trigger as they don't break until the very last bit of rearward movement available.

My wife chose the SIG 365X with straight trigger and no external safeties. One MUST be disciplined to always keep your fingers away from the trigger! It is a peach I admit, although I would prefer the 365XL myself. It also was the most expensive handgun we examined. Go figure. lol.

95% of the time she actually carries a Reederized custom S&W M60 .38 Special. But she has "her" SIG CCW. Her house gun has always been a S&W 657 3" in .41 Magnum! We do keep a 870 handy and at the instance of Roman, a AK folder ready to go. Such is country life with stock animals.

This is her old M60, and we keep this 17-shot Taurus G2 around too. I last busted off a couple rounds with it to scare off a pack of Coyotes howling in the pasture, freaking out the goats.
