I still have my 9mm EZ Peformance Center for sale. Offer still stands, you free to try it any time you'd like. If you find a PDP somewhere, just come grab my Shield EZ to take to the range and shoot them side by side. No obligation or cost to use my Shield EZ.Thanks to all that commented. We are following up on many of your suggestions. I do have a few follow-up comments:
She shot several different handguns at a range this week. 9mm doesn’t make her flinch. Of those she was able to try (including my SIG 365X) her biggest challenge remains racking the slide. The springs are just too much for her. She tried a revolver as an alternative, but didn’t like the double action trigger pull on the first shot.
I was able to get her on a S&W 9mm EZ to try. She liked it very much. But before we make a decision I’d still like to try and find a PDP-F for her to handle. I probably won’t find both guns side-by-side which would be ideal, but if not that then at least sequentially. Not saying it’s between just those two, but at least she now has a better idea of what’s a good fit for her and what’s not.
