Yep, him too...

I remember the last time we were at the range, she had a little trouble racking the slide on my .45. I taught her to use her right arm (the one holding the gun) by pushing forward with it while pulling back on the slide with her left, which helped. She works out (no pics...DWI) and has pretty strong arms, but she's not a big woman by any means. Maybe a revolver is the way to go...but she's enamored by the friend's wife's .380...

I find it annoying to rack the slide on my subcompact CC gun, so I do think that a revolver is a good way to go.

As far as the .380, I'm a fan of just stepping up to the 9mm. I'm only getting a .380 if I really feel like I need a tiny gun. I don't think the 9mm is too powerful for a girl by any means.
