        Cool that you still have the old ass iPod nano.  Keep it forever- that was one of the better versions, I thought.

            @DougNg:

            Has she done much shooting thus far?

            for the last 13 or so years about once a year she fires every a 9mm, a shotgun & an M16.  she hates all of them & just needs something to build her confidence & work on her basics.

            Not that I'm an authority, but if I were you I would consider a 22lr. If it weren't such a pain, I'd send you my Ruger 22/45. If you think you're going to eventually land at a Glock 9mm, you can get the gun and then get one of the 22lr conversion slides so she'll learn to get comfortable with a single platform. Jody likes her 19 for a couple reasons. It's easy to train with so she's proficient. It's big enough for her hands but small enough for her purse. She doesn't carry on her body (yet). Too small in her purse is no good either because there's too much crap in there and she wouldn't be able to get to it fast if there was a defensive situation

                  G23 here, so, similar gun. I do not edc it at this time though. I installed a lighter trigger and a grip but the thing really needs a mag release extender.

                  I tried REALLY hard to like 40SW and just couldn't get into it. Even got a brand new slide assembly and barrel and changed out my Sig P226

                  Oh, you Americans  😉
                  I'm owning a Colt Government, but of course (Germany!!!) using the thing exclusively on the shooting range. I'm member of a shooting club, but it's just sports. The gun is securely stored away in a safe, gun and ammo separated. My interest in guns began when I was a part time doctor in prison and the wardens took me with them to the shooting range.
                  The 1911 is perfect for that, so reliable and easy to use. It's heavy, but that helps in targeting. I tried a Glock 19 and a 9 mm Sig once, but always came back to the 1911.

                  When I'm in the US full time (after my marriage), I will definitely get a gun. My future wife already owns 2, a Glock 17 and a S&W revolver (.38) I believe in the saying "you don't go with a knife to a shooting"  🙂

                      Wow, I don't think I've ever heard someone say how reliable the 1911 is as a platform. In fact, it's reputation is that it's incredibly finicky and a pain in the ass…

                          I love the way 1911s handle.

                            Mad,

                            My Mrs keeps a .38 for concealed carry, which is a natural transition to .357, from there a 9mm is easy. In other words start small, but on a firearm that can still be effective. She also likes the feel of a revolver better, but is capable of controlling her dad's .40 if she wants. She doesn't push her limits much though, and is typically happy with what she carries

                                Glock 19 loaded with 15+1 Federal HST 9mm 147gr
                                15rd magazine loaded with same and with Magpul floorplate
                                Car key with ResQMe window breaker/seatbelt cutter and Prometheus flashlight (mostly there so I can tuck it into my waistband and hang my keys from my gym clothes)
                                Greatlakesvapor ecig and ecig liquid
                                Spyderco Dragonfly VG10
                                Worthless work Blackberry that I hate
                                Lighthound AAA flashlight (an awesome buy for $20, has over 200 lumens on a single 10440 battery)
                                Victorinox Tinker with "Plus" scales that holds a pen (can't find them anymore)
                                Fisher Space Pen
                                Nylon sheath to hold the AAA light, pen and Swiss Army knife, along with duct tape wrapped around an old gift card, as well as a couple pieces of scrap paper
                                IH Wallet
                                Keyring that's usually on a belt loop, also has a Victorinox Classic, Photon light and USB drive
                                Not pictured is my iPhone in a Magpul case because it's taking the photo

                                The redundancy is because I don't usually have all this shit on me at one time. In the office, my keyring is usually hanging from my door. When I'm running out to get some take out, all I usually have is my wallet, my two sets of keys and my iPhone. I only carry my firearm out when I legally can, or when I'm home

                                    This is actually the second one. The first one had issues, but they took it back without hesitating. This one works like a champ. It's just "ok" with alkaline batteries, but I already had the rechargeable lithium batteries, and they double the output

                                            Nice Doug.  I am always a little envious and confused about how and when the Americans are allowed to carry a handgun, or conceal should I say?

                                            Re edc torches, my sunwayman r01a aaa is excellent for a 10lm.  A little bigger my zebralight sc600mkIi 18650 size is simply awesome.  I carry that as often as the situation will allow.
