My wife has a S&W 649 , .357mag . This thing is a BEAST to shoot .357 mag rounds out of , but it feels VERRRRRRY comfy with .38 spec +P
Me I like my Glock 23 , comfy in my hand , comfy to shoot , plenty of knock down power ( with the correct ammo ) Mari , go to a gun show , look at and feel the heft of every thing in site( fire arms that is ) , some thing will CLICK !!!!! If it don't feel right , you probley can't shoot it right !

Somehow I don't think that the Hogue Energy Absorbing Rubber Grips could ever absorb enough energy.
I have this vision ... you know the one, where the coyote has the cannon, and he gets his ass blown back into the canyon wall and leaves a coyote shaped imprint? I wonder if anyplace has this available for rental.

I've fired that, but I prefer the extended mags. I like having a place to put my pinky for stabilization.

I end up saying it over and over ... who in their right mind would trust a $500 pistol to a $20 holster ...

I'll bet she's more than $20. I've seen the $20 models.

Thanks for the great info. I am also looking for a gun for self defense and have decided on an HK USP Compact. A friend of mine has the HK USP which I held the other day and it's a bit big for my hands and frame though. That's all I have figured out, not sure which type yet, 9mm, .40 or the .45.

The H&K is a significant investment that is not usually an "entry level" gun. Great choice, though!
Shoot all three. Some folks think the 9mm lacks "stopping power" but the .45 is sometimes a bit much to handle, especially for a new shooter. Also take into consideration the amount of money you'll be spending on target shooting. You should shoot with your defensive rounds as well. The .40 is my "just right". Felt recoil will vary depending on frame and grip size.

Oh yeah, the sticker shock is amazing but I see it as an investment for myself, I'm not shooting to injure, I'm shooting to kill. I'm 5'1 and small so I will have to get comfortable with the gun and any recoil. In college I shot a 9mm and that was ok. My main reason is for self defense in the house, my husband is in the military and away a lot, we live in a new subdivision and there's a lot of construction workers and people coming and going, I would just feel safer. There's a shooting range close by that's $15 an hour to shoot.
