[QUOTE="2Bits, post: 988838, member: 81831"] Gentlemen, I have read all these posts on this thread! Now I will give you my opinion of what this Lady needs to feel comfortable with in the woods or wild, when it comes to those wolf's. My wife (65 yrs young, 135-lbs) shoots a Glock .40 cal (sub-compact) which holds 11 rounds total. The Glock pistol's are very lite on recoil. She can even shoot my Glock model 20 in 10mm cal, using 180 grn bullets. RECOIL is very lite compared to other pistols. She carry's her little Glock all day long! The .40 cal Glock using 165 grn bullets will be plenty quick enough velocity wise and will still penetrate enough on any wolf on the planet. If one likes the 10mm better, I carry 2 of these and I can tell you up front, I would go up against any big bear with my Glock 10mm, 6 inch barrel using 180 grn bullets. Yes, I do have a couple of .44mag's and the .480-Ruger but these were hunting pistols, NOT self-defense weapons understand. Recoil even from a .44mag takes precious time before you can get back on target. Not so with the Glock .40 or 10mm. I have run the tests from 40yds on a moving target coming at me (bear posted on plywood) and I can put 8 out of 10 shots into the vital area before it hits me. You will not do that with a high powered revolver like the .44mag, which most women could not even hold nor hit their targets. Now our Glock pistols have stainless steel replacement barrels! Shooting lead bullets is no problem at all. I use the Beartooth "hardcast bullets with gascheck" in my Glock model 20. They have a very large "Metplate" on them and the wound channel from these bullets is simply awesome. They penetrate great and cause more destruction than plan hollow ponts. [/QUOTE]
