CC for Mrs
Wifey took her CC training Sunday and is submitting her application tomorrow to the Sheriff's dept.
She has small hands and statue and would like to carry something small and lite like a 32 or 22 semi or double action for pocket carry.
She has a 22 (HR22) she likes to shoot but it is to heavy for her liking and a little big for pocket carry.
My LCP has a bit to much bite for her but fits the weight and size to her liking.
She loves my LC9S but it is just to large for her liking to carry.
Any ideas?

Re: CC for Mrs
S&W M&P 22, Ruger SR22 would be worth looking at.

Re: CC for Mrs
Have you tried a lighter load ammo for the LCP? Ruger also chambers it now in 9mm..

Re: CC for Mrs
They have lots of awesome colors for the LCP, but the 9mm is the LC9, which is a larger gun. Still pretty small, though.Aesinsp wrote:... Ruger also chambers it now in 9mm..
They DO have that larger LC9 in .380, conveniently called the LC380. Putting a low-recoil .380 defensive round in that slightly bigger (but almost twice as heavy) gun should give her a good experience and easier control.

Re: CC for Mrs
Maybe a ruger lcr in 22 loaded with stingers? It holds 8 rounds while staying small and light. Love mine.

Doh! Right you are.. standing corrected. I meant to suggest the LCR in lighter load 9mm.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:They have lots of awesome colors for the LCP, but the 9mm is the LC9, which is a larger gun. Still pretty small, though.Aesinsp wrote:... Ruger also chambers it now in 9mm..

AND I see the OP started this off with an LCP reference. I totally pictured the LCR & looked up Ruger's info accordingly.. that's it, back to sleep for me.

Re: CC for Mrs
My wife initially had that problem with her Walther PPS 9 mm. A good instructor can work through the recoil problem with your wife in short order. Once my wife realized that the weapon was not going to take her hand off, she forgot about it entirely and concentrated on grip and point-and-shoot (she's not big on sight picture - and I don't encourage sight-picture).
My thought is, as some have said, a bit more gun, with a bit lighter load, and a bit of knowledgeable instruction on how to deal with muzzle lift, and I'll bet the problem goes away very quickly.
Kudos to her for taking the class and getting her license, BTW !!!!!

Re: CC for Mrs
I may look for some lighter .380 loads to see how the LCP does for her. She does like the LC9S but a little big for pocket carry.
The 22's sound appealing but it is her pistol in the end and she will make the final choice.
MWSY, don't tell my wife about the cool colors, she will want different ones that match every purse change
We are going to a friends house in a few days to shoot. He has a keltec 32 and his wife has an sr22 for Wifey to try and hopefully our friend who is much more experienced in handgun shooting that me may offer Wifey some good advice. He is also a retired HS teacher!

Re: CC for Mrs
I own a Ruger LCR 9mm, and a couple of J frame Smith & Wesson revolvers in .38 special. They have reasonably light double action trigger pulls. The .22 rim fire versions of those guns don't. That's because the makers know that rim fire ignition can be a little dicey, and the hammer/firing pin needs more power to alleviate this. That fact makes them tough for smaller handed, weaker fingered individuals to shoot well. (Sorry about the careful verbiage, it's not correct or politically correct to say "old people and women" in this context.)someguy wrote:Maybe a ruger lcr in 22 loaded with stingers?

Can the trigger pull on these .22's be lightened? Yes. Should they be, for serious use? From what I've seen, nope.
These sorts of foibles and trade offs are why it's important for shooters (especially less experienced ones) to test drive before buying whenever possible.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: CC for Mrs
Buy a bigger gun and hover her shoot it a lot, once she feels comfortable then shrink down. Remember you do not shoot tons or rounds through those little carry guns, Need to feel secure but they are not target pistols. Shoot 100 rounds though a big gun and 10 though the little one. It will become no big deal.

Re: CC for Mrs
The keltec P32 you speak of that you'll be shooting in a couple days may be just the ticket. Very small but the recoil is a lot, lot easier to handle than the P3At or LCP. I use a small strip of racket grip tape on the grip where it hits the web of my hand and another one down the length of the front of grip. Both give me a better purchase of the gun and softer recoil.
