Sweet! My wife would love to carry her Taurus Tracker, but the Kahr is alot easier to carry and conceal. How does your wife carry the Bulldog? In her purse?

Brian,

My wife was the same way. It's been a gradual thing actually. She got her permit "just in case" she wanted to carry, and hardly carried at all originally. Gradually she is getting more comfortable with it. Doesn't hurt that every day we watch the news or read the paper and someone else has been attacked or killed. So now she is carrying more and more.

Where in TX are you? We will be visiting my folks in Houston over Christmas probably.

Her purse looks amazingly like a daypack. This is one of the stupid PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. states, so it's not EDC for her around here and she stays strictly legal with it. She's resourceful and alert. I'd rather not go into any more details than that <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think it's a particularly vicious beast to fire, but it doesn't bother her. Depending on locale and reason for having it handy, she switches between a fairly standard Keith-style heavy bullet reload and an uber light bullet reload I developed especially for her and that revolver - the light bullet reload is a blast to shoot in my Redhawk but too destructive for anything but head shots on small game.

She carried a semi-auto many years ago in a place where it was polite to pack, but she always greatly prefered a DA revolver (well, actually, she prefers a short-barreled 870, but that's another story...). I would like to switch her to a heavier 5 shot DA revolver ( 44, 45, or 357), but she's pretty stubborn <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> (...and beautiful and smart and... she reads this forum from time-to-time)

Im in the DFW (Dallas/FortWorth) area. Actually work in Dallas and live in a Arlington which is right in between Dallas and Fort Worth. I have lived all over Texas over the years and actually lived in Houston for longer than anywhere else and I'll tell ya you certainly picked a good time of year to visit. It's pretty rough in Houston in the summer.
