Wanda tried serveral guns, when i was shooting Glock 34"s the factory gun would stove pipe each shot, she bought a XD hated it, it would stove pipe once about every 300 rounds. but thats not why she hated it. then a beretta vertec she was happy with and moved on to the Elite 1A shot it even better. but her best pistol that she really loves is her Springfield 1911A1 9mm with S & A slim grips and mag well with a short trigger and ambi mag release. For her the key was (she says to tell you adjustable sights a must) the ambi mag release, she is 4'11" right handed, with very small hands so she uses her center finger on her right hand (you know the finger you use to say your #1) to release the mag so she can maintain grip and does mag changes very quickly. also she uses the hi cap 38 super mags for IDPA and USPSA single stack and L10. she wanted a wheel gun until she shot one.
with all that being said she now also owns a P14-45 with a short trigger which is her favorite mole hunting gun, 6 so far this year.
