Lol!Listen up boys.
Wow, Churchmouse, that is freaking awesome...can you spare some details sometime?CKW had serious medical issues that took her out of the game for a few years. She is back now but reduced muscle mass has her struggling with the slide on about anything so I built her this and she loves it. Steel killer for her.
I spent some coin on it but man it is a serious little shooter and she is all smiles.
I have a CZ 75 P01. It is my absolute favorite semi-automatic. It's a nice solid gun. It's accurate with low recoil.My wife likes my fullsize CZ75, but she also shoots the Colt Gov't.380 quite well. I actually have recently aquired a CZ 83 and she loves the feel of it, haven't been able to do any shooting with it yet.
I went this route instead of modifying the Colt with new sights and ambi safety, and the CZ is more left hand friendly for her.
I can not remember everything as one on the guys we used to shoot with was/is a rimfire freak.Wow, Churchmouse, that is freaking awesome...can you spare some details sometime?

The slide racker and comp are TandemKross productsI can not remember everything as one on the guys we used to shoot with was/is a rimfire freak.
Gun is a Ruger 22/45 "Lite"
Complete Volquastren (Sp) internals. Everything they offer for this gun. The Slide racking handle on the back came from the same forum that had the "V" components if memory serves. The comp was something my buddy had.
Optic is a C-More.
So yeah i spent some coin here but she is all smiles at the line.
That sounds right. I did this over a year ago and I am so there is that.The slide racker and comp are TandemKross products
I had one years ago and ended up selling it to a buddy. I tried to get him to part with it, but he said no way it is his daughters favorite to shoot.It's been too long since I've shot a CZ 83. It is a nice little pistol!
This pistol has brought 3 adult females and several children into the fold. Put any new shooter on the line at 21 feet to the steel and they are pinging it steady by the 2nd mag and its all smiles.I had one years ago and ended up selling it to a buddy.

That is tremendous, CM. I hope one day to be able to say the same thing.This pistol has brought 3 adult females and several children into the fold. Put any new shooter on the line at 21 feet to the steel and they are pinging it steady by the 2nd mag and its all smiles.
While reading I’ve thought about all the LEO shooting vids we have at our fingertips nowadays that show perpetrators not even being slowed by fully filled magazines of hot 9mm. I fully appreciate your logic though and the compromise of the generic shooter’s abilities(keeping an open mind indeed).There is a wise old saying that a .22 that hits the mark is more effective than a .44 Magnum that misses.
My wife has some arthritis in her hands sufficient that even a light loaded .38 just won't work for her.
A-shopping we did go.
.25's were out. I personally investigated cases where .25 auto rounds bounced off of the skulls of their intended victims. That left .22s.
She fell in love with the feel of the Walther P22. It holds eleven with one in the spout. She loves shooting with it and is deadly with it. I explained the limitations of the cartridge and told her that if an attacker absorbs eleven rounds of high speed .22s and keeps coming that it just ain't her day.
When shopping for a defense gun for the House Wren you have to keep an open mind.
American Rifleman had a review on the 9mm where they contrasted it with the .380. One paragraph was the following:Thanks for the suggestion, but I already have a 9mm EZ, she cannot rack it, either. Is the .380 EZ any “easier”?
