Ladies love the Derringer
In Britain, the Cheshire police force is downsizing its gear to recruit more policewomen. Specifically, they’re going from a Glock to a Sig-Sauer. Lighter motorcycles will be considered too, although it wasn’t clear what models. From the article:
Liz Owsley, of the British Association for Women in Policing, said: “To introduce smaller guns and motorcycles takes a chief constable with gumption and wherewithal.
“There is no reason why police forces can’t have weapons with smaller handles and smaller motorcycles.
“Not all male officers are 6ft 6in hulks, some are small and they would benefit, too.”
Which raises the question, why would you want anything bigger than the minimum size and weight possible? Are you going to catch more bad guys with a heavier motorcycle? And don’t guns pretty much, as Homer said, kill whatever you point them at? All things being equal, you’d want whatever allows for greater mobility and dexterity. Here are the two guns in comparison:
Of course, if you really want to go small, there’s always the Lady Derringer. (warning: site contains lingerie images of the owner)
