Posted in an old thread like a jackass. Hey brahs, I’m new to this thread. I’m looking for a good self defense handgun for my wife to be able to use at home. Something with little recoil but good stopping power. Would hollow points do the trick? Are any of these good options?

I think generally most people will say a Glock is a solid option. Same with the 365. Some might chit on the Beretta… a lot of personal preference comes into play with picking one.
Everything depends upon execution; having just a vision is no solution.
Performance and performance alone dictates the predator in any food chain.

Promptly gave her the function over fashion shpeel…..you're not buying heels/purse here.

Honestly, even with her small frame, the issue with recoil is likely due mostly to lack of training. The more she shoots the better she will get at handling the recoil.
Also the catch 22 in this case is that heavier/larger pistols almost always have less felt recoil than smaller guns of the same caliber.
So let's say a G43X will probably fit her hands very well but has noticeably more snap than a G17 full size pistol, which may be too big for her grip.

I've read in the past that the most important thing when selecting a first time handgun is choosing one you're comfortable holding and handling during operation. If she'll be new to training and you want something on the lower recoil side, I highly suggest something in 9mm. Ammo will be relatively inexpensive compared to others to get training done, yet offer less recoil than other popular calibers.
Glock or Springfield armory would be my humble suggestions for brands. Being able to rent something at a range would also be a great idea, and training for whatever firearm she chooses would be the most important part imo. Good luck.

Same. If you care at all about how your gun looks, Get the No Quarter sling silencer. The Slingster's metal adjustment thingy scratches the absolute hell out of your gun.

It can cause minor scratches but I don't care about that. I was hoping to rattle can this rifle before it got too cold in like September but we have had an early and really good winter so I likely won't be able to paint it for a few more months.
I recently bought a Blue Force Gear Vickers sling with metal QD’s. Maybe I haven’t used it enough yet but I don’t find it loud and it isn’t scratching anything yet.

If you are asking for her, IMO that rules out anything with a manual safety, more than one trigger pull, decocker, etc.
Double Action Only with no manual safety, or striker with no manual safety
Something in a compact to full size 9mm. Glock 17, Glock 19, S&W M&P 2.0 full size or compact in 9mm, etc. Also look at Smith and Wesson EZ

But a double action revolver is also one of the most difficult firearms to get hits with, and has the lowest capacity. It's also the least 'shootable' of these options for actually practice and training at the range because of ammo costs, long heavy tiring trigger, and more felt recoil as there is no reciprocating action

The odds are even higher that you'll have to reload. The main concern here statistically is NDs by casual firearm owners that don't train with their weapons on a constant ongoing basis.

alright so I'm focusing my energy on finishing AR build. If the question was asked of what are your must have add-ons (include brand/model) what is your answer? (items that can be excluded that are already sorted: scope/optic, mags, sling, can)
Im thinking:
1) torch - I'm looking at atleast 1k lume here
2) laser? IR combo etc?
3) illuminator (obv will need nods and dont currently have)
4) ?
5) ?
what say you?

I'm a Surefire fanboi, but I've been digging my Cloud Rein 2.0s a lot so far. If I was going to get a new light I'd try the brand new Rein 3.0 they just dropped.
If you don't already have this, then after the light I'd get a chest rig or plate carrier set up. After that you could look at a battle belt. Most people seem to get the belts first but for a rifle based kit belts are not at all necessary.
Most important here is to get proper training.

As for the light I'll take a look at those. I do like Surefire. I have a streamlight laser combo on my g19 and love it. I'll check out the Rein
Funny you said chest plates….I had a company (i forget the name right now but I book marked it) pop up my feed last night and I was looking at their setups and battle belts. Any quality brand you recommend? Also I saw the different tiers of ballistic proof and would pay the extra for lighter weight/higher tier…but some of them only had like 1 year shelf life?? Only one with a decent shelf life was steel at 5 yr.
for now I can hold off on the plate insert and just outfit the rig to store my essentials.
