I have a local guy that reloads (commercial) that will also reload to your specs.  I have him build CMJ 250 grn over 22 grains of H110 that ends up at about 12 fps and lots of flame.  FUN round!

At home I keep her stoked with cowboy 250 lead (900 fps).  BIG, SLOW. KNOCK DOWN!  Been dooing the job for over 100 years ;)

At that speed, I almost expect a little flag with the word BANG! to pop out instead.........  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D




Vodka and Pepsi you said earlier?          ;)

The Girl I took shooting, wants me to help her get a purchase permit for a hand gun, and she looking at a refurbed Sig P226.  I guess my 1911 is elegant and good shooter, but old school ::).  She is also getting her degree in criminal justice and wants to become and LEO.

She very much wants to become a regular shooter, and has told some of her friends that I am patient and safe if they want to go.  Patience is truly a virtue I reckon.

The P226 is full size, generally a little large for a woman.  The P229 or P239 might be a little better for size.  The P239 is a little top heavy but far easier to conceal and carry.  It's up too her, my daughter has a P228 which became the P229 and it's OK but she doesn't carry it very often.  My kid is pocketsized at 5'1"...fits her hand well.

Did you just reccomend a Glock 26 Haz? Why yes you did! Shocking, I never thought I'd see the day. :o ;D In all seriousness, I just got this gun a few weeks ago and have since drunk as much Kool-Aid as Eric. Its more comfortable than the 17 grip wise and just as accurate out to 15 yards. This is an amazing gun. For a female shooter, I would highly reccomend she rent one and shoot it. Sigs are nice and I'll never say anything bad, but for less, $$$ the G26 is one hell of a pistol. I always liked liked Glocks, but but  always put "perfection"in quotes. With the 26, there are no quotes. This thing is the real deal.

You have to 'try on a few to fit your mitt" like shoes the are NOT  going to feel the same as somebody suggests..
Expecially to a female shooter. Weight and recoil willl be a factor. Most guys will take this into consideration but trying out the actual  firearm at a range will be the deciding features...
