Price, it's all about the price
GoodWife just got a Desert Digital Hipoint 995 9mm Carbine. (For Valentines she got a Titanium KSG 15 shot pump). I think with the beach trip in July I'm in good for the year!
She likes it a lot. With luck, off to the range tomorrow to workout with both. The 9mm carbine was a moment of clear thinking. We're getting ready to retire, probably to live a bit remote and with both of us having a bit of arthritis in the hands, needing something a bit larger/easier to handle around the house. Plus, if accurate enough, this should serve to out such country varmints as small piggies and coyotes as and when needed or bunnies in the garden, etc.
I cycled Fiocchi hollow points through it tonight to be sure. It seems to feed and eject perfect. If it handles my crappy reloads on the range, I think we'll have a winner for her to plink and use for other projects as well. I'm reading that these can be counted on for about 3" groups at 100 yards and regular dings on steel gongs at 200 yards.
If this runs like a clock or at least a timex, then It may resolve many issues for my mamma. She's 76 and though she carries, it can be a bear for her to shoot a revolver enough to get some good practice. Fingers just ain't strong enough anymore and can't even rack a semi auto pistol. Only problem she may have with this it the trigger pull is at least as heavy as a revolver. We'll have to see. She'll be by one day and I'll have her shoot GoodWife's and we'll go from there.
