I think FRC has G42/G43 and a G19.
I have a Shield, 9c, and 2.0 Compact that she is welcome to shoot. I also have a MP Bodyguard, but I wouldn't recommend it.
If we go, I get free rentals there, so y'all can shoot whatever so long as you buy the bullets from them.
Nope. Wrote a whole post, meant for another forum.We’re you responding to me?
Care to elaborate?

I took my wife to Jim's and had her try all the 9s in the cases. I made sure she had proper grip mechanics before going. If you skip that step she won't get an accurate assessment of fit. A critical dimension is backstrap to trigger face. If the shooters finger cannot comfortably span that distance and have solid finger pad to trigger face contact, it's not going to work well for them. Its necessary that this be accomplished with the trigger in the full forward position, not just in the staged position. She settled on the Walther PPQ and shoots it well. She later transitioned to a PPS. They're both fine guns, we both have one of each.
I second the idea of a full size for a starter gun. I have found it's easier for new shooters to master grip and trigger manipulation on the larger frames, assuming a proper fit. Smaller guns are harder to shoot well due to shorter sight radius, increased recoil and smaller grip contact area.
And I second the idea of getting training from someone other than you, no offense intended. Husbands teaching wives gets bogged down in relationship issues. I have all of the NRA pistol instructor certs but I have my wife train with another instructor. It just works better. She will accept correction more willingly from someone other than me. it's not perceived as judgmental or criticism. I jokingly say that no man ever taught his wife to shoot and kept marital harmony. Of course you may be the exception, just my experience.
If you want to meet up at FRC she can shoot my Walthers, just PM me.
Sig P938 or P238.
Yep . I mentioned my wife's CCP on page 1 . I really like the way it feels myself . My hands are big and hers are little and it fits both of us well .Walther CCP. Put one in her hand and watch her face. Gas delayed blow back 9 mm. Everything is easier. You will make points. You will have to clean it. More points. It's really not that hard just a llittle strange. My Mrs. really likes hers.
Ammo up, train hard.
