Hi all,
I'm looking for a compact defense semi-auto handgun for the wife. Something that's easy to rack the slide would be great. Possibilities are S&W Shield EZ, Sig Sauer 938, Walther CCP or similar. Either 9mm or .380.
But, if you have something I haven't thought of let me know.
Thanks,
Gary

If you don't mind double action I recommend the XD-E. Super easy slide

You might also consider a Sig Sauer 938. 9mm, metal frame, accurate, smooth and easy slide rack. Only downfall is that it has an 8-round mag. If you are planning on missing a lot, you can try a Glock with a Fun-Stick with 35 rounds, but that is a little harder to conceal.

I got my wife a Glock 43. She is tiny and racks it like a champ. A lot of the problem with women racking a slide is in the technique. Holding the slide properly, tight and pushing the grip module forward instead of pulling the slide back.

I got my wife the S&W Shield EZ 380 and I like it more than I should. REALLY easy to rack, nice size, good grip. My wife has arm strength but has gripping issues due to arthritis in her hands. Problem solved with the EZ.

I have this for sale

Is this the EZ, or, if not ,what model and what are you asking?

 

[SPSharpshooter]

It's the EZ 380 performance center. Basically same, but has night sights, ported slide and barrel. Improved trigger too. Basically just a fancy version of the EZ. I'm asking for $400. It's only had 2 mags through it. Comes with all original stuff.

I'd buy that in a second if you were near me!

I'll take it but we'll have to figure out the tranfer. Any chance you'd meet in Vancouver if I pay for gas? I think shipping is around $50 plus the extra time.

Let me see if I can make it work. I have 3 young kiddos and we're home schooling them with the covid thing so it's hard to break away.

 

[GaryWT]

I understand. For what it's worth, we are close to SafeFire gun range not too far after crossing the river on 405.

I called an FFL near me that I used recently. They say you can take it to an FFL near you and they will ship to my FFL here in WA. I will of course pay shipping. If you let me know which one is your preference near you, I'll call them and make sure this will work through them. Unless you can make it to Vancouver in which case I'll give you the $50 that I would have to pay for shipping.

 

[SPSharpshooter]

That would be sweet. In that case, I'll take $375. Thanks

Get her a wheel gun.
