The Dagger might fit in G19 leather holsters, but most kydex holsters for G19 I have tested do not fit the Dagger. The trigger guard shape seems to be the problem.
S&W Shield EZ in 380 or 9mm. This gun is easy to rack and has multiple safety with new shooters in mind (grip safety, thumb safety). If she can handle the 9mm recoil I'd recommend looking at S&W Equalizer. It is built like the EZ but with double stack mag with 15 capacity.
I think you got her good platforms that can be used effectively for self defense. The 380 EZ wil be more effective in terms of stopping power. But I would mot feel unarmed with the TX22 loaded with Federal Punch.
Wishing her the best in her fight against cancer.
This is a good advice. Does she have a state id with her address, dob?
She will need this to establish state of residency when doing the 4473. She also needs to show her green card and enter her uscis number on the 4473.
This has been my observation as well. I took the NRA instructor certification so I could train my wife and 2 girls properly. Then I helped training ROTC cadets at the local university. The girls are more patient. They listen better and have no bad habbit to unlearn from playing with toy guns.
Let her try something with softer recoil. 9mm or 380. Glock 43x or 48, Shield EZ or Equalizer are good models to consider for 9mm. The EZ and Equalizer will be easier to rack the slide.
I went through several iterations to find my wife her edc gun. Started with a G26 gen3. She caŕied it for several years then complained it was too heavy. Got her an LC9. She found the recoil to be too sharp. Got her an LCR in 38 spl. She loved it but asked for something else with slimmer...
That is good to hear since I can see a Henry 357/38 in my safe down the road. I have good experience with Ruger and Taurus customer service in recent years.
