Hi, I am a new member. My wife and I are new to shooting and recently got our carry permits. I have a S&W 357 for home protection that I really like. My wife has arthritis and has trouble working a slide so she got a S&W 38 special double action only, no hammer. We both enjoy shooting and have been going to the range once or twice a week. She is a better shot than I am.
I am thinking of a 9mm carry gun for myself but am confused by all the different types and terminology cock/half cock, decock levers, different safeties/no satety etc. I have searched around some different forums but it is hard piecing the info together. Can anyone direct me to any articles that explain all the differences and the pros and cons?
From what I have been able to piece together so far I have pretty much narrowed my search to 9mm. I don't want to spend a fortune, just want something reliable so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
