Wilson Delimma
Ok guys, I have an interesting delimma. At the range last night there were ladies in the lane next to us and one was shooting a Wilson X-tac compact (4"barrel). Anyway, she got to shoot it and now says she wants that. All good, except that would mean me putting off the VBOB for a while since the Wilson's are a lot more expensive. I've never owned a Wilson but I know those are supposed to be super guns. So my question is, get the Wilson and hold off on the DW! or convince her otherwise? This is the 2nd gun for her besides the one she got for a wedding present from my brothers (long story).

If it's going to be hers, get the Wilson..there's around an 8 month build time, that would give you time to save for your DW.

I'm with Mike....I offered to buy my Mrs. a pistol for her birthday... She made it abundantly clear that she could choose and purchase her own gun... thank you very much.... she just was waiting till she found "the right one.". If your darlin' has found "the right one".... put the DW on hold and get her what she wants. You'll get to play with it anyways! At least I hope so...
BUTTTTT......Its about the same size as the DW CCO... You COULD suggest that she try the CCO before she buys... then you could get yours and she could get hers at the same time. Nothing like gun shopping with your wife. Just suggestin.... Da

good suggestion. I'd have to put black grips on it but that's not a problem. She liked the all blacked out so wouldn't be difficult to change up the CCO, or even the Guardian. I think I'll work on that angle. Thanks!

How about one of these for half the price? You could have what you both want for the price of the Wilson. They are similar in overall size. Main differences are the barrel length, frontstrap and slide serrations, and the slide and frame metal. The finish will be better on the ECO (duty coat) vs. Wilson's (park finish). Just something to consider.
