I don't see these as being a collector type pistol. Definitely a working/beater gun.

Sounds like a fun Arduino or Raspberry Pi project with a couple of limit switches.

yes it does,thanks, actually found an old warne insert that called for 25 in lbs in a cross hatch pattern, i was thinking the scope mfg would have had info or a warning,,, thanks

Try before you buy. Find a range with rentals and have her try everything they have. Try stuff you don't think you'll like, you might be surprised.

I live just a few minutes from them. I have been buying from them since they opened. They have always been fair.

It might be worth a drive to Royal Range. Their prices have been fair on each of the guns I've purchased from them.

I have never seen a shop have what I wanted exactly and when they did it was old and scratched

The alloy frame will scuff and scratch fairly easy on the J-Frames-I guess it's just a fairly thin finish.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. lol BUT...I'm not sure I'd say it's the superior firearm of the OP's list. I gotta be argumentative. Just the best in my opinion for the lady.

Franklin Gun Shop is well know for their high, take it or leave it prices. Great place to look at guns but getting a fair deal can be a challenge. It can be done but it should be easier than it is.

Ok, I just have to comment. Don't be cheap! Buy her the 43X. She likes it. She will carry and use it. Hopefully, but try to get her to shoot one first. 1 PPQ...I love mine, but I personally feel it's to large. 2 LCP9...I feel that the first time she fires it will be the last. I've owned 2 of them. Harsh, loud, and the heaviest recoil of any small frame 9 I've owned. 3 43X...it's a Glock. Proven track record, at least on the name, and I have no doubt about this one. 4 G2c...Buy the 43x. See above #3. Yes I do own several Taurus guns, and I do like them. As the owner of all these, at one time or another, and a multiple Shield owner...I personally feel the 43X to be the best choice. I tried to pick my wife's. I didn't work. She likes the Smith 351PD in 22mag. I used it to replace a 416 in 22lr. Little more potent I think. She likes it. Light and easy for her to manipulate. Didn't like my auto-loader choices. I learned...the expensive way. But on the upside, I have a couple of small pistols I like. lol OK...my personal opinions...nothing more.

And 20 years down the road people will be saying "Ruger is a good gun, except for those Wranglers, they're kind of junky." The Heritage is what it is, I own one, and it's not a bad gun. But, I wouldn't put my Heritage up against a Single Six. Although I can appreciate nice guns, they sit in the safe, while my Heritage and SKS, get thrown on the four wheeler or tractor and actually used.

Buy her what SHE wants and buy it brand new.

NickinTN. Good to see you back of the buying side. Enjoying the ECO enough I bought a Valkurie cco and a Valor vbob commander. If I get in the selling mood you are first in line.

Their website states 25 in/lbs in FAQ area and on the torque tool that they sell is set to break at 25 in/lbs too. Not sure if that helps?

Perfect lower for this situation https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-approval-15-stripped-lower-receiver.html?avad=55963_d15a17b55&utm_source=Avantlink&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=cl

Well worth it.

Did someone shoot it? that is the easiest way to die of lead poison.

I've had the opportunity to check the 43x and I am impressed with it. Enough so that I'm considering a purchase...and this from a hardcore Shield fan.
