daily carry [ fits flat in the small purses she likes ] ruger LCP; also has a smith 642 she likes but doesn't fit in the small purse well. for hiking , four wheeling , hunting, camping, she has the astra terminator 3" 44 magnum. she can shoot most any handgun quite well, better than most men. with a 22 kit gun she is amazing.

Since my ex pulled that Python and threatened to shoot me, my current does not have her own gun.
True story. But the current doesnt have one because A. She wont take a training class and B. I am concerned she would hesitate. Both exclude her as a good CCW candidate. Oh she still asks occasionally, but she wont do the work. So like yard work, home repairs and things on high shelves that is "my job".

MARKBO... having a gal that you think would hesitate might be a good thing considering your past expirience???

I do believe they're still together. course I haven't stopped by his garage since I was a teenager so I reckon they could have had a falling out since then.

Mine was never a sidearm kind of woman. She was more the take her rifle out and fire it twice a year kind of woman: She would fire it once to check zero, and fire it once more to kill whatever she pointed it at. Then she would put it away again...

My soon to be wife has only showed interest in two guns out of the whole collection. One is a 6.5" single six and the other is a 3" GP100. Both are relatively light, easy to use, and very comfortable to shoot. It's really hard to overlook a DA revolver with a comfortable grip.

My wife wears her weapon on her face - under her nose!!! She just needs to raise it and everyone around her wets their pants. Except me. After 25 years of it I am am half deaf anyway...

Wife drags around a Glock 19. She won a S&W 642 at the Christmas party. She has never been much of a shooter but she is pro gun and doesn't blink when I carry in Church.

My Mrs. likes my daughter's 32 mag Single Six, but shoots my 9mm and 45 auto Glocks. We're working on getting her chl now, and a good gun purse. She has several to choose from, or may just pick out something new. I think it's important for the wife to be armed. If you're downtown and get jumped, it's the hubby that gets taken down first. That's where wifey steps in and saves your bacon. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Since it's been mentioned...
I have seen commentary from Gunsite instructors regarding purse carry. I believe it was Charlie McNeese (hopefully I got that correct)that would only go as far as recommended a fanny pack because it was on your person and should always stay there. I have not found many instructors to differ from this view for various reasons and the only person I ever heard recommend it was someone who said IF it were carried "cross body" it would be effective but even then it was considered a inefficient option. While you'll find many brilliant marketing strategies to dispute this by CCW purse makers I often wonder why this would be considered a good idea. Won't that be one of the first target of any criminal? Just wanted to hear some pros of that type of carry consideration.
You can get some really sleek and classy gunleather that can be personalized for your/her carry options that keep it on your person and accessible.
I guess I just hijacked this but I'll be damned if I give 2 Dogs any more posts on his "epic thread".

I cant imagine someone in a very nice dress having any other option.
