I finally had some success in getting my wife of 52 years to the range. She has her carry permit and shoots my 4" MKIII Hunter very well. I thought I had it made when she shot my P365 but in watching her rack the slide and with her difficulty in loading and seating that magazine, a co-worker gave her his Shield EZ 380 and all of a sudden she had a much easier time with the semi auto firearm. Shots on target at 30'. I often carry a LCPII so I had a lot of Federal HST plus brass, bullets, and dies for the 380 so....
Yesterday, I hit my LGS and after mental debate over with or without, picked up one with the ambi safety. The safety is exactly like a 1911 and easy to ride with your thumb. Instinctive for me but will have a small learning curve for her but I think it's addition will giver her a bit higher level of comfort. Very easy to rack, low recoil, nice sights, serrations and shape of slide near perfect, overall this is a very well thought out handgun. I have to load up a few hundred rounds and test this thing but if it shoots like my buddies, it should be fine for her. She loves the concept of a laser so my TRL4 may soon be mounted to the Shields rail.
