Hi all.
I know a lot of you have wives/are wives that carry, and I'm curious what you use. Concealed carrying for my wife is difficult because there's not a lot of places a handgun will conceal, so I'm looking at various different options. I'd still like something with a semblence of stopping power, but be small enough to fit in her purse possibly, or if there are any other conceal options that women frequently use. That kind of leads me towards a snub nose revolver, .380 or so, but I would prefer a little semi auto for some reason (I know the snub nose will be more reliable, so I'm not ruling it out at all).
I have an XD9 Subcompact, and it's way too large for her to concealed carry. That thing is only a couple of inches smaller than a full size, and it's double stack anyways.
a friend pointed out this little guy: http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=10&productid=69
but that still seems a bit on the large side to me. Please help!
