How about a nice .38 airweight with a full shroud? A major caliber, light weight and very reliable. Been around for 90 years so it is a proven design. Lifetime guarantee on the weapon from Smith & Wesson. Carries well in a pocket or on the belt.

I have the 340PD (Scandium in .357). If you only plan on shooting .38s then the aluminum frames are much cheaper and not much heavier.

Shoot one first. The recoil is significant, even with .38s.

Or buy the stainless steel version. Heavier and handles the recoil much better.

Thanks for the recommendation, Packard, but I'm not a fan of revolvers.

Shot the LC9 AND the LCP this last weekend looking for a conceal carry option my wife. I'm 6' 2" with slightly larger than average hands, and though both guns are tiny had no problems with the trigger. The misses had never fired a handgun before the lcP and at 5' tall she's fairly dainty (hence why looking at such small firearms). She likewise had no problems (besides the need for basic instruction on handguns). I'm at a loss as to how or why you physically couldn't pull the trigger. I'm not trying to poke fun or anything of the like but I was literally thinking of this thread while at the range and was giving it a lot of thought and absolutely cannot figure out why you wouldn't be able to.

I do understand not liking the trigger however, the uptake is simply massive.

After quite a bit of practice, I can pull the trigger, but not the way I would prefer. It's awkward and I feel out of control.

Which gun are you talking about now?
My wife really likes the feel of the kahr cm9

Lc9

two suggestions, both mentioned earlier, the sig P238 small veryyyyyyyyyy easy to shoot and very accurate. the only draw back is you carry it cocked and locked like a 45, but it does have a thumb safety like a 45.

The other choice is the Kimber Solo, the trigger is very light, the size is almost identical to the LC9 and its accuracy is very good. Kimber has had some problems with them in the past but I think they have worked out most now and its worth taking a look at, I carry one every day and I like it enough to have retired my P238 to the safe.

Kicks like a mule, though!! Sold mine and got a Glock 26 for CC!

Meaning the S&W 340 PD.....

You know me not.

Galloway Precision has a trigger bar and hammer put shorten the pull....$60

Thanks for the info. I think my husband is doing fine with it the way it is.

I shot my new lc9 earlier today and I absolutely loved it. The trigger pull was a bit long I guess, but the pull was super easy. On my first shot I actually thought something was wrong with it because it seemed that the trigger pulled too easy. I loved shooting it. Hopefully you get used to it and keep it!

Check out the trigger upgrade at gallowayprecision.com, they have a relatively low cost fix for the LC9 trigger problem.
😁

I shot my LC9 today for about the third time since I got it. Put three in the bulls eye out of seven, shooting fairly close up, but rapidly. I like the slide safety, the long trigger pull, and the mag safety; they make me comfortable when carrying. I let my nephew shoot it, and another friend shoot it (on different days) and they both liked it. So I'm not understanding "the trigger sucks" posts. I previously had a Kahr and a Sig 238 and traded them. Love the Glock 26, but a tad heavy for me for a comfortable CCW, plus don't like one in the pipe with no safety and a short trigger pull. I don't walk the streets of Kanduhar, so I'm not worried about a sub-second draw and chamber time. Just my opinion, everyone's preferences and circumstances are different.

I'm over it. I didn't like it, gave it away, looking for a new one.

Got rid of a S&W 642 once because I didn't like it. Life is too short to waste too much of it trying to like something you may never like. There are lots of guns. You will find one you like I'm sure. If there are ranges in your area that rent guns, that is a good way to try before you buy.

When we were shopping for a handgun for my wife, we looked at the LCP/LC9 and she didn't like the trigger pull at all. She opted for a Sig P238 and has been very pleased with it.

Just wanted to say you had a good suggestion. I looked at one this week and I really liked it. Thanks!
