Handgun Speed Dating
As the leading women’s 2A organization in Delaware, we get asked all the time, “What gun is best for me?”
There isn’t a simple answer for this FAQ. You have to take into consideration a person’s hand size, grip strength, finger length, vision issues, and any bone/muscular/nerve disorders that may impact their ability to adequately operate a pistol. It’s a very personal choice, one that can be impacted by something as simple as how much effort it takes to press the trigger. Choosing can be especially difficult when trying to find the one firearm that can be used comfortably for home defense, carry, and training.
Since this wasn’t a question we could answer very well without being in person….
WDC organized Handgun Speed Dating and Delaware Tactical was happy to host, providing instruction to our ladies for the 3 hour event!
We would like to thank Scott, Chris, Josh, and Stefanie for all of their help making everyone feel comfortable and confident in their ability to choose a firearm that will work well for them!
Firearms that were available for students to try are listed below & were chosen based on proven reliability.
HK VP9sk, Smith & Wesson Shield EZ, Springfield XD Mod 2, Smith & Wesson full sized M2.0, Glock 48, Glock 19, Glock 26, Glock 43, Shadow Systems CR920, Shadow Systems MR920, Sig 365 XL, Sig 365 Macro.
Yesterday's event wasn't just about trying the firearms. It was about SHOWING women how to choose their own, discussing why we recommend 9mm for defense, and the importance of "owning" their firearm.
We discussed firearm price range, reliability of firearms and caliber, grip, stance, and sight alignment. We even recommended some awesome FFL's who do an amazing job at helping women choose.
