This is pretty much right … 95% or more of criminals when turn and run at the sight of a firearm on a “victim” they thought was unarmed. Of that 5% or less who do not turn and run at the sight 95% or more of those will turn and run at the simple discharge of a round from said firearm. Its that 5% or less of that 5% or less that we have to worry about. That 1 or 2 rare one’s “desire” to keep coming is why we prepare … and why that means more than just having a firearm! It means preparation thru training … planning and practice. Col Jeff Cooper summed it up when he said “Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician” … or you are going to be SOL.
Fully agree 100%
She may have trouble working the bolt.
The EP9 recoil is also softer than the PC Carbine. My main reservation about the EP9 in this application is the stiff pull of the charging handle. I doubt that my wife can manipulate it.
I had the CZ scorpion when it first jumped on the scene, thought it was an awesome looking gun and loved the concept of basically a subgun, however the original ergonomics and the grip to trigger space was horribly uncomfortable, not to mention trying to shoot it without a brace. (at the time there were no optional only the stock adaptor from CZ but that would creep into SBR territory.) However, what I would suggest is any AR platform pistol with an arm brace as this individual is exactly the intended end user they were invented to help in the first place. The AR pistols have less felt recoil, are more accurate then pistol and much easier to manipulate.
And the 30cal muzzle blast blowing out your eardrums indoors. It was loud enough outside I had to add plugs to my over the ears lol
Had a fellow shoot his Mosin right next to me at a meet and greet, boy that was loud, I wear foam and electronics. Made me think about the Russian soldiers fighting the Germans without any ear protection.
My military rifle match really gets you thinking about stuff like that. Then you see the clunky old bolt guns being fought under the pressure of just a timer, or the Garand getting a 20 second reload vs a modern AR in a few seconds.
She would need to have a balcony installed.
I actually arranged a little nest for my ex between the bed and the exterior wall with a flashlight and corded phone. Plan was she goes in there and calls 911 and I wait in the hall corner to shoot the intruder.

This, (1022) except no tech or batteries for elderly....controls too small and confusing, batteries be dead when needed. Nice big tritium front bead if you must force youth tech on them otherwise the biggest fiberoptic bead and focus on training to point shoot the front sight as they just can't focus front and rear.
I couldn’t disagree more. A .22 is the last thing on earth I would recommend to a new shooter for SD purposes. Of all the firearms out there, rimfire is the most likely to malfunction. If you’re shooting Something like, say, 10/22, it’s not a matter of “if” it’s “when” it will malfunction on you. Now, I can (and presumably you as well….) clear a malfunction real quick, and if not fast enough then I’d just butt stroke them in the face, and go hands on………..but I’m not a elderly woman.
And @Derek8404 the 22lr shoot statement is a joke, to a point. People say "no 22lr is a bad choice" ok then are you willing to get shot by one? Well no I am not, then how bad of a choice is it?
