I've tried every platform. I recommend the p30 in 9mm. P30L, p30, and p30sk. I carry and primarily train with those. 1911s for fun and because....America!
Subcompact I'd go g43 with +2 Vickers mag extensions. For a lady that cannot cycle a slide comfortably, a 38 special revolver. I saw at the range today a Smith Wesson semi auto in .380 that is supposedly very easy to manipulate the slide. "Ez" model I believe. |

G19 is great for 95% of people out there.
I'd recommend the Gen 5 if you go that way. The Smith Wesson 2.0 compact might be worth a look as well. It is available with a thumb safety if that floats your boat. Imho only the 1911 really needs one. |

But can you really recommend one gen over the other? other than it being the newest? If you can save $50-100 going Gen 4 or Gen 3? |

they may be one of the best most reliable pistols out there, and if the world was ending i would probably pick up my g34 (parts are plentiful, blah blah blah), but compared to everything else in my safe they are not as fun to shoot, the trigger is not great etc. The G19 is the one glock that i could never like, the 34 was my go-to for many years (classes and such) and it is in my bed side safe right now, the 26 was my favorite glock for years. I bought a 19 to carry, and because everyone else on earth has one so i thought i should check it out. I just don’t like it, grip angle, trigger (you can’t modify the stick trigger in a carry gun in ca) and it is so thick and blocky that i fins it less concealable then a full sized 1911, not to mention a spare mag. If you are considering a glock 19 or 17 you owe it to yourself to try a CZ Sp01 and/or P01, they are so much more enjoyable to shoot. If you don’t enjoy shooting it, then you won’t shoot it, if you don’t shoot it, you won’t be proficient and you shouldn’t carry it. |

Isn't the P30 only available in 9 and .40? In that case, the Glock wins by default.

Yup, my mistake. HK45 is a 45 but it would be difficult to get here. The HK USP is my viable HK option.

Also, I'd say the P10c would be a much better comparison to the G19 if his wife were to compare.

There are attackers that aren't even stopped by a 45 acp so saying a 32acp would stop any attacker is a stretch.

I have no doubt that when the situation turns suddenly into life danger that most of ppl would draw their weapons...but shooting at alive persons is a different thing. Dont tell me you would unless you had done this.

I deploy overseas frequently and I've had to on several occasions. As for civilians, I know some that would (and have) and I know others that wouldn't.

I figured in the heat of the moment, we're all going to fall back on what comes natural and i seem to just hit what i point at with the g19 without thinking about aiming. I can be as accurate with the shield, but i have to focus on being accurate. The point is, everyone is going to be more or less accurate with different pistols. The 13% less comfort from carrying the g19 is secondary to my ability to defend myself with it. As long as it's concealable, get her the one she shoots best. Perfect example is my IMI baby eagle.... i took my wife shooting and gave her a $3k 1911 which is dead on accurate in my hands. She can't hardly hit the paper with it. I give her the Baby Eagle, which i can't shot for shit and she's throwing consistent 4-5 inch groups at 7 yds. Hell if i know, i'm just pissed because now i can't sell it, it's "her" gun now. lol

Those who make idiotic statements (that also happen to have hideous grammar and spelling) are idiots.
