    i'm torn between a M&P 9 and a M&P 40, cost isn't that different, but dad's only semi-auto is in 9mm.

    The things required to pull bitches
    My first handgun was an xd 40 I got for 399.99 I wanted a 9mm but couldn't wait 1 month for a 9mm to come in. So I got the .40. Ever since then I kept buying all of my handguns in 40 because I didn't want to have multiple calibers. I wanted to keep it simple and easy finind ammo.

    If I went back and did it again I would have done 9mm, 9mm are easier to control. There is hardly any recoil so it allows you to have a faster follow up shot and good shot placement. Shot placement > "stopping power". There's no such thing as 1 shot stop. Shot placement is key. I can quickly double tap a 9mm and hit center mass within 10-15 yards. With the 40 I can do the same but it's a slower double tap.

    I picked up a M&P40c when I had my carry license. At the time, one of the main reasons I bought it was because of 9mm shortages. Its a fun little gun.

    I base that on control ability in a subcompact ( I carry a XDSC in 40 and would rather that than the XDSC in 9mm or XDs in 45)
    Obviously with the correct platform a 45 or 9 will out perform 40

    I've been wanting to pick up a 22. I need to teach my wife to shoot a handgun comfortably before she shoots any of my other pistols

    I shoot a 45 off duty as I enjoy the recoil and easily manageable but for duty I carry a 357Sig.

    I think she can shoot a 9. But she has a tiny frame and can be a little timid. I don't want her to get gun shy before she learns to hit paper.

    Of those three I'd get the Ruger. We rented one and it shot anything we put in it. We had the Walther for a while and it was a jam-o-matic unless it was shooting CCI Mini Mags and even then it wasn't that great. I've heard even worse things about the Sig compared to the Walther. We ended up with the S&W MP22 pistol. Even though its made by Walther, it shoots everything too. It's also full sized and the same size (but way lighter) than my wife's MP9, so she can train with it, even using the same holster to work on holster draws and first shot placement.

    I have to throw this one in to the .22 mix for you to consider also...

    Ruger 22/45...

    I have the Lite model and added the Hogue overmold grip. Grip body is based off a 1911 if you think she might be handling one of those down the road.

    I looked at those 3 also, the gun shop had all 3 in stock, similar price so there was no incentive for them to sell me any one in particular. They said the Sig was picky with ammo. The reviews I read about the Ruger and Walther were decent, seemed slightly better in favor of the Ruger but the decider was I liked the way the Ruger fit my hand. It's easy to tear down, seems pretty accurate and easy to shoot.

    As far as larger handguns, I shot a .45 owned by a local TW member and it was very smooth. The gun was heavy but had very little felt recoil. I expected it to jump quite a bit but it was a really nice gun to shoot. It was Billy's gun so you'll have to ask him what it was if you're interested. All I remember is that it was a .45.
