Momma wants a gun!

smith and wesson 357 mag / thread

 

theyre a blast! but good luck finding her one she likes report back when she chooses one!

 

oh definitly will...gonna take a video of her testing it out too

 

If she is familiar with Guns and has shot the calibers mentioned above, then I would recommend either a .40 or .45. XDs are real nice shooting guns IMO. But as most have suggested, it's always best to have her find one that "feels right" in her hand and then pick the most suitable caliber.

 

yeah we were gonna find some starting calibers then find the right gun to go with it

 

thought she wants a revolver? if not glock 19 or glock 21 can't beat-em they are awesome cocsistant shooting easy for most and reliable.

 

i have a .38 s&w airweight
that thing kicks like a mf

 

yes, double action revolver is the only definite things right now, everything else im not sure of.

 

I had a S&W model 66 357mag with a 4" barrel. It was kind of heavy but the recoil wasn't that bad. And like someone posted earlier you can also shoot 38 spl. in it.

 

So i showed momma your responce and she said "does he disrespect his momma like this?" "I thought those boys would be helpful, but i guess not with those comments" She also said shes not a kid wanting a "toy" shes a grown 45yr old woman that has a grandchild.... just thought i would pass this along. She also said she doesnt need repremanding from some snot nosed, wet behind the ear 21 yr old boy....

better watch momma, shes got spit fire and vinegar in her veins.

-1 for you sir. and this is a truck thread so you cant expect me to be a firearms expert,not to mention you didnt answer the question at all. If i knew everything about firearms, I wouldnt be asking questions now would I?

 

soooo yea did she end up getting a gun?

 

lol wow talk about thread revival...not yet, still looking, shes very particular. but my dad got laid off for the winter so the gun is on hold. i will update when she gets one

 

get her the s&w 500. ifshe wants a revolver, that'll be all the gun she'll ever need. if she shoots at something and it still lives.....it was meant to be

 

hmm...hows the recoil on it?

 

eh...about like a 45 long colt. the gun raises up a bit when i shoot. its beast tho

 

she doesnt want anything with a stong kick, of course its going to have some, but she wants to be able to handle it comfortably

 

haha yea well just curious! sorry to hear bout your dad gettin laid off...

 

yeah it sucks hopefully he can go back soon. he tried for unemployment but since he started with the compant mid term, the difference between the third term (when he started) and the 4th term was too big so he didnt qualify hes the bread winner, mom was a stay at home mom now theyre deciding if she needs to get a job and them find a sitter.

 

Check out taurus they are making alot of cool revolvers right now the model 405 is a 5 shot .40 cal so pretty managable recoil it also uses full moon clips so you can reload quicker. Only prob is its a 2in barrel. http://www.taurususa.com/pdf/2011_taurus_newcatalog.pdf
Also chiappa is making a cool .357 that shoots from the bottom barrel so that reduces muzzle flip and makes recoil more manageable. They come in 2, 4, or 6in barrel.
