Gun for the wife...

[Lash]

Apparently my .40 has too much bark for her.

I was think about a .380 or maybe a nine.....not really sure yet. What do you guys recommend for something just to shoot (no .22's please...lol.)?

I was looking at the Bersa Thunder .380's.

[94greenbandit]

380 or even a 25 would probably do her just fine

[TheRX7Project]

.38 special. Honestly, it's reliable, cheap, and not much kick. Not much accuracy either though... but with the right ammo it could still stop someone.

[Rocket Power]

My wife liked her .380 Makarov and .380 Taurus Milenium Pro, But the recoil isn't that much less than a nine and 9mm ammo is cheaper. We also had a 9mmTaurus MilPro at the same time as the .380, not that much diff in recoil if any

[UnderPSI]

I have shot the Bersa .380 and I really like it. A good friend of mine has one and I don't know how many thousands of rounds he has shot through it, but he has never had an issue with it.

Never shot the Taurus Pro, or any Taurus for that matter, but I heard they are pretty nice.

Let us know what you decide. Jamie is looking for something in that range too.

Get her a XDM 9mm and dont look back..........

Brad ive fired alot of taurus pistols and every single one of them either jammed up under rapid fire just felt like a loose piece of shit.

Still got the Mak?

[Rocket Power]

Still got the Mak?

I wish, sold it like 10 years ago. Only paid $199 for it back then was a russian one.

[MurphysLaw88GT]

rats...

[Rocket Power]

Yeah my wife regrets selling that one. Still misses it

[MurphysLaw88GT]

Perhaps a CZ-83 in .380..or an 82 in 9x18? Small, cheap, well built, concealable as hell. Mak like.

[Reverend Cooper]

My wife has a Bersa thunder .380 and loves it,just the right amount of kick and very easy to handle for her. if your wife would like to try it let me know.

[Knyghtmare]

Every time this topic comes up your going to get another vote for the XD 9mm, and the XDM 9mm is even better! Any Taurus semi-auto in my opinion is crap, no matter what ammo your shooting through it. Its like buying the cheap copy over the real deal. You get what you pay for... and in firearms its just not worth going with a cheap copy.

[Rocket Power]

I never had any problem with our tauruses. They functioned fine and were just as well put together as any other polymer framed pistol I've ever handled.

You XD guys are like a cult

What does she need it for? Invading a small country or shooting pop cans?

Invading small to medium sized countries.



Saw a NIB Bersa package at Gander for $300. I'm sure I can find it for under $300 elsewhere. Thats probably the route I'll go.
