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.

Good luck on convincing her on the DW CCO. Bottom line is get what she wants. I have been a shooter for 50+ years. Married for 44+ and this year is first time she expressed wanting HER OWN. Whatever she chooses is it and glad she is finally wanting one she can call hers.

Now.... THAT is a good husband. (after 30 years of marraige, I can say that). As I said earlier..... my Mrs is the same way. And... I'll do the same when she finds what she wants. May you be at the range on your 50th anniversary with her! Amen.

March will be 34 yrs married for us. Unfortunately, it'll take a while to get her one once we order what she wants. I brought up the CCO and the other DW's but unless I can find one around here for her to shoot, I might as well go for what she wants. Didn't think abt the ECO so might discuss that one as long as I can get it blacked out. She didn't want another polished since the .380 she carries is done that way.

Sheepdog logic. Get her what she wants. If you don't you will hear about every little issue that may come up with an alt. gun. It will be for you to get what you want. Last but not least when Momma is happy everybody is happy.

Now this might take a little turn. She found a Nighthawk T3 locally. A used gun 2009 vintage with papers and bag. Owner says it has only 1000 rounds down the pipe. We're gonna go take a look this weekend and see what she thinks. She's not really anctous to wait months if she can find something she likes. More to come.
