I have a Walther PPQ 9 mm. That is the style with the paddles for the magazine release on either side of the trigger guard.My wife is not a gun enthusiast , but is not opposed to guns. She has shot with me at the range. She does not mind shooting my walther p22.
She works from home, takes internet phone calls, and wears headphones as part of her job. She has a 1 hr break and usually spends that with our small dog outside.
Our home is a bit off the road, not very visible to others ( woods on all four sides), you could kick in our front or back door and no one would notice. There will be several town homes and a development build very close to us soon, so it will be noticeable that our house is there, but not out in the open, I.E. a target.
I'm trying to get her to entertain the idea of keeping a pistol on her side during the day, so that its always with her. She does keep one in her little home office, but its not with her as she moves about the house or goes outside.
We are going to the range this week, but i dont think she is going to like shooting much more that my walther p22.
I'm thinking about getting her a Walther PPQ 22. It has no safety and if she gets really used to it , maybe i could move her up to the Walther PPQ in 9mm.
That way the 9mm would be the same size and feel as the .22.
Thoughts ?
As a left handed shooter I can fire off a magazine, release it with the left hand trigger finger without any hand contortions, insert a new one and resume shooting. I like the gun but it is a far different shooting experience than when I shoot my Ruger 22 lite. In fact I bought the Ruger lite with my wife in mind but she appears to have no desire to join me at the range.
