I'm not sure if this is just a problem I run in to or if this is a common "girly" issue...but I can't get my gf/wife (either of them...kidding) interested in ugly guns.
I have really been hoping to drum up some interest in an M&P9. However, if it's not steel, or, in some instances, aluminum, I can't seem to get her interested. She just has an aesthetic obsession with smooth, shiny, metal objects.
Now if it were up to me, she'd be getting an MP9 or G19...but no. The glock are right out because they are too square. The M&Ps are better, but still...too plastic.
Well, what can you do? It's either buy something YOU like, or buy them something THEY like. And I guess a pistol she likes is a pistol she is more likely to shoot...and I would rather have her owning a second tier pistol with 10,000 rounds through it because she loves it than a top tier pistol with 500 rounds through it because it's an ugly black brick.
Tough to buy guns for women in my experience.
Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.
