My wife carries a Sig P238. I agree with the above that it definitely needs to be something they pick out. If they don’t feel comfortable with it they won’t carry it.
Lots of ranges rent pistols where they can see what the like and dislike. I’m not so sure my wife wouldn’t rather carry a revolver, that’s what’s in her nightstand.
I carry a Sig P938 and there is a very small difference in size of those pistols.
Michael Dixon was a fraternity brother, he was a plastic surgeon in Amarillo. He was convicted of having his friend kill another doctor in Lubbock over an ex girlfriend. I knew Dixon and Shepard, the guy that did the killing. This story has been on several of the murder/mystery stations. Kind of crazy to know both of the guys involved in a murder for hire plot. Both are in the pen for life.
