With a flick of a tool, the gun could go from being a good fit for her, to a good fit for you. The M&P is also showing up more and more, in IDPA competition.

A good choice for her to keep in the glove box of her car and also in her purse. My wife is probably going to get the M&P Compact .40 S&W — she went and played with one today and really likes it.

There is a reason they are so pricey, and it is reflected in their fit and finish, their features, and performance. Put one in your hand, and see how it fits, but don't buy it at Cabela's, wait for a gun show, you could get it for several hundred less than MSRP. Also take a look at the <a href="http://www.kimberamerica.com/pistols/ultracarry/ultra_carry_II_night_sights_lg/" rel="nofollow">Ultra Carry II LG</a>, it comes with meprolight sights, and a crimson trace grip. The weight of the weapon might be a little off-putting for concealment, as opposed to a polymer, but it would never fail you. I always look at American made first, and only own one foreign made handgun, <a href="http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?id=209&category=Revolver" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. Open carry only, though. Robbie, I was never asked to make a recommendation, but I strongly concur with your boss.

Shoots competitively, avid hunter, obsessive collector. I went and talked to him this morning about the best options for concealed carry, and he didn't even hesitate, said there is only one gun he would ever consider or recommend to anybody: <a href="http://www.kimberamerica.com/pistols/cdp/compact_cdp_II/" rel="nofollow">Kimber Compact II .45 ACP</a> Though it's a little pricey ($1225) he said he has several other .45's and that this one blows them all away in terms of reliability, accuracy, and ease of concealment. We're fortunate enough to live close to a <a href="http://www.cabelas.com/" rel="nofollow">Cabela's</a> so I can go check one out in person this afternoon.

We’re fortunate enough to live close to a Cabela’s so I can go check one out in person this afternoon.
