I'm interested to hear what people "chose" for their wives / significant others who aren't into shooting or don't want to train much.
I put "chose" in quotes because I don't "choose" anything for my wife... I give her options and choices that I think she might enjoy, but she makes the ultimate decisions.
My wife doesn't mind guns and appreciates that we can protect our family, but she just doesn't really care to train or practice.
She used to go to the range with me once a year to refresh her shooting skills and she has her CCW, but since COVID hit she hasn't shot a gun in a few years.
Picked a few new options she could potentially use in different scenarios and went to the range today together to make sure she could work them reasonably.
I put the target pretty close (5 yards) and used a FAM target instead of a standard FBI so it'd be agnostic to height over bore of sights at that distance. Happy wife, happy life.
Her favorite was the Maxim 9. That thing is pretty darn quiet. I picked that over a standard Glock because the slide is very easy to rack on the Maxim and she can do it no problem, it's wider and very grippy which makes pinching it easy.
What do your significant others that don't care for firearms pick for home defense or carry?
