My wife recently got a Beretta 84 and had trouble with the blowback design with respect to racking the slide. She could do it, but not with the authority needed to be confident when it counted.

So. . . .looks like I have a new Beretta 84 in MY stable of handguns

She wound up getting a new Sig Sauer P238 HDW (Stainless Frame and slide). Just got it in so she hasn't shot it yet, but it's a sweet looking little pistol. . . I mean REALLY little.

I'll post after we've tried it out.
