Thread: My Wife's New .357

Well...it was one of her presents, and she loved it! She will carry this one which is why its more functional then pretty, but to make it extra pretty and girly I had custom grips made with her name lazer engraved and then filled in gold then sealed to stand up to conditions.

Josh you know what I think about guns but this one sure is pretty. I hope she enjoys carrying it and that she never has to use it away from the range.

Thanks that means a lot especially comming from you. I tried to make it as pretty as possible I too hope she will never have to use it, but she wants to do some work with me and I told her she has to carry if she wants to do that kind of work, sooo...here we are.

Besides its the only way I can get pics on my wall of a sexy girl with a gun without getting in trouble...now if only I can get her to pose with it in some of her modeling shoots lmao!!!

A 640? I'm surprised! Heavy beast. Nice present.

What kind of work do you do, that a gun is a useful accessory?

Cool.....

made it heavy enough so that she could shoot it without too much kick

Actually only 23 oz, its a great weight, especially for women.

Thanx Josh, I now feel a whole lot less macho. I may have to toss my 637 backup piece. I do love the way a 640 shoots though, and the looks you get from the booth next to you.

Let me know if she gets anything bigger than a 1911 for a primary piece and I'll reevaluate that too.....geeez!

Well if it makes you feel any better it will be her primary carry not her backup...I use a 340PD as my backup. 11oz .357 1 & 7/8" barrel...it will wake you up in the morning thats for sure lol.

Dont worry about the 1911's....she had to get a revolver because she isnt strong enough to rack the slide LOL!!!

She will probably carry 38 +p, but the 357 option is there if she wants it.

Now all you need to do is buy her a box of Triton hollow points to go with it. The tri-partite bullets really do a number when they hit. Hopefully the gun will only see range use, but best be prepared.
