So this is the power of not being able to afford ammo.

I’m thinking on the racing stuff cause it plays well into being old

Lighter trigger=easier on the hands that have arthritis

Less recoil= easier follow up shot

The flared magwell is nice cause if she needs to reload it’s easier. But I doubt that she’d need to get to that point

>Small revolver easier to carry

I never understood that. It’s a lot of extra weight + a small caliber. So yeah, low recoil. But it’s way heavier than it needs to be. And shorter barrel= more recoil. Shit, maybe granny needs a Glock 45 or a 49. We shall see

Nice ten 3 anon. I’m currently debating on buying simichrome or flitz and polishing the inner front part of my gun to help with cycling

Not that it’s an issue, I just like having a super smooth gun

That sucks. We're on summer hours here which sucks but at least I can shoot. Speaking of which, I have to go.

Can never go wrong with a slick action, my good chum but I didn't polish anything there. The slide and gubbins are just soaked in CLP before I scrub them.

Yeah I saw some people arguing the other day and it lead to "post groups" so out of curiosity I checked my folder and I only have a handful of targets from a long time ago. This is from 2014 I don't even know what distance it was at but probably nothing impressive.

I get what you're going for, but you're projecting onto her. Especially a gun as a gift? Have you talked to her? That's not the type of thing that you just go
>surprise!
for someone. I know I'm sounding like a faggot but I just don't want to hear about anon's grammy NDing or some other shit at worst. Also you're focused on the trigger, but what about racking the slide? My mother for example literally cannot rack any of my handguns.

That’s why I referenced the tangodown backplate (so she can).

It’s not a suprise gift either. I’m talking with her about it

I also appreciate the concern, you are right that there is a lot more to it then just getting them a gun. It’s teaching gun safety and everything else

If she can’t rack the slide even with the tango down backstrap they have stuff that works like an optic so she can rack the slide on the table

I assume you own a gun, and possibly even a Glock, bring it to her and have her try and rack the slide. I'm willing to bet money she can't grab it hard enough to do so. I struggled to believe that any woman was actually weak enough to struggle with racking the slide until I handed my mom a gun, sometimes they really cannot do it. Get her a revolver.

If she has strength issues or arthritis, simply having more grip area won't do much. How does the M&P EZ series do it? They don't really explain it in as much detail as I would like.

Why the fuck would you need “target ammunition” to shoot a 13 round course of fire at 7 yards?

I blew it on the coin. The dot on my front sight is bigger than the coin. I definitely need to upgrade to optics. In other news, 300 rounds through the magguts today, about 100 of those were mag dumps, 0 malfunctions. That's about 18 reloads for each mag. I think that's good enough, I'm going to start carrying them. I'll keep testing them and do this again next week or the week after.

We.had a pretty big discussion on this topic like a month or two back.
I think some of the best options were
22 mag air weight j frame or LCR with a professional trigger job (to lighten it enough)
Lcp max or bodyguard 2.0 with either ones dovetail optic or a milled optic to rack the slide. (May still need mag loader)
The 380acp p365 luxe
My vote is the 22 mag revolver as it's by far the simplest, maybe easiest to grab out of a purse, and you can put some fat plush rubber grips on it to make it even more comfortable for her.

As opposed to defense ammunition for carry and at home.

SNAPbin wants to see your range results because he folders it and uses it different places to pass off as his own. Not even joking.

Would, for collection if nothing else.
P11 was a significant step for the industry, the micro compact from before they were cool, and it was the precursor to the P32, which disrupted the entire mousegun market and forever invalidated the idea that straight blowback is a reasonable thing to do in a firearm optimized for carry.

The jury selection process usually filters arseholes like the ones that would think weapon customization = criminal intent. However, the prosecutor will cross examine anything that the judge allows like when Thomas Binger brought up Kyle Rittenhouse's computer game history (Call of Duty). Pieces of shit like that would try to use your favourite colour against you if the court let them even though none of that has ever resulted in a conviction.
