I don't like plastic pistols

[usabaker]

Well, it happened... After looking a just about every semi-auto handgun she settled on the Sig Sauer P365 XL in 9mm with "X-Ray" day/night sights and manual safety. It fits her hand better then most of the polymer pistols she tried and it was a happy medium between a full size and sub-compact. The other thing is after trying a bunch I've decided a single stack 1911, like the ones I have, are just fine for me; just didn't care for polymer chassies.

Guess we own our first Polymar handgun...

I've been considering a P365 for my niece as well. She's small, and it fits her well. We'll see. In the mean time, it is up to us to recall that the Austrians didn't always make stuff out of plastic.

Bingo! that exactly why the wife chose this sig, the XL also less snappy and comes with 12 and 15 round mags although I can have them so we got three 10 round mags to meet California compliance. The Glock 43 can hold 10 rounds but is a brick, and really had too much girth for her hands and to add to the grip issues is the slide release it is ridiculously small and unusable.

Yep. The SIG is about the only one she can get good trigger finger placement on. She can use the Walther P22 as well, but it's under powered, and she inexplicably manages to release it's mag on occasion while firing.

Do they only come with that FUGLY straight trigger?

What about 30 rounds of .22 Mag in the Kel-Tec PMR-30?

Yeah the flat trigger it has a 90-degree breakpoint. it is a nice crisp trigger and while is may be ugly, i agree, it works really well. I which there were just a bit less take up but its not my pistol and my wife don't care. As far as aesthetics go, I got to say this is the furthest thing from a brick that I saw, she is a nice looking weapon.

Not in California my friend, 30 round mags will find you with no guns in your life for a very long time.
