    Thank God! I thought it was bad shopping for shoes with my wife. She finally settled on her first handgun. XD9SC. I'm glad she found what she liked. Now I just have to find a deal on one. She handled ~30 handguns and shot 4. She likes the trigger on my XD9 4''. The recoil is fine for her. She said my S&W 6906 had too much recoil, the DA/SA trigger pull was not her thing. She was leaning towards a G26 but the grip angle didn't fit her well. The only thing that troubles me is she has a hard time racking the slide. Maybe she just needs more practice :dunno: I'll post a video. She had all her rounds within the "mugger" target. You can see her target was further out than most other people. Doesn't look far in the pictures though. Some guy was shooting a Desert Eagle .44 and it was loud in that tiny range. Freaked her out a bit, I didn't like it either.

    Just thought about it I bought my last 2 springfields (xd and XDm) on gunbroker.com saved over hundred dollars over anything local in my area (evansville IN) on both. Thats with FFL and shipping.

    Times sure have changed, back in 1980 I bought my wife a colt detective special with zebrawood grips at a sale. She sure was happy and still carries it every day.:)

    I told her she was too picky, but then again I want her to be 100% comfortable with it. The 3mags + mag holder deal with XD's sounds good.

    It seems the XD9sc is a really common first handgun choice for women... anecdotally at least. My wife chose that as her first handgun as well, and I've read of at least two others here that reported the same.
