Need some help , the wife wants a gun , she wants something light & compact , whats out there for something in 9mm that would be in the $500-$800 price range?
Try the IMI baby eagle on for size. A great looking well made little cousin of the dessert eagle. It fits small hands well and I find the ergonomics to be much better than that of the sr9. The Glock 17 would also be an excellent choice, my girlfriend loves shooting it.
The Smith & Wesson M&P9 Julie Goloski Edition. Fairly standard size, easy to operate, light due to polymer frame, and easy to maintain. A great gun regardless of shooter. That said this one has a support ribbon engraved in the slide, and comes with a pink back strap. The back straps can be swaped and also come with black ones. perfect for her, but you can switch the back straps if your not cool with pink, and you can use it to. Back straps can be switched for different hand sizes.
