Off to the in laws for the day. Try to see if I can figure out if there’s something wrong with my wife’s Glock 42, or if she’s just limp wristing it.

My wife’s Glock was malfunctioning. Turned out to be operator error aka limp wristing. I had gotten her to get a s&w 686, and she was proficient with it, but it was too heavy to carry around on long hikes. Good luck with it.
 
Fantastic start of a Sunday

Brunch with the wife at a local brewery (bartender happily gave me multiple samples and full pints I did not ask for.. thank you very much)

Stopped at a nearby store found multiple good beers on sale .... now enjoying good beer and waiting to cook food later

Today is awesome lol

I had a 3" 686+ I liked but sold it to a neighbor who is a friend who did not have a firearm in the house and wanted one. Figured it would be something they could both, he and his wife, handle with a little practice. I had put a nice fiber optic sight on it, and gave them some nice holsters and ammo. The rest is up to them.

I think the smaller, single stack Glocks are harder to shoot for many. (Personally, the 26 is the one I carry way more than any other.)
 
Anyone have any experience with the Glock 43x? Pros and Cons over a "regular" Glock 17? This would be for a younger, inexperienced shooter.

Also got to handle a buddies FN 510 this week. Without shooting it, seems like a very nice gun, we'll thought out, good quality...

It's going to be quite a bit more snappy. Personally, I'd get them trained on a gun with more forgiving recoil, and more hand filling. Consider the 19 or 26...would be my prejudice.

I'd agree with E. For a novice shooter it would be better to learn the fundamentals on a 19 or something more standard size. They are much more forgiving and easier to learn on then the smaller pistols.
