Thanks for all the reassurances guys, it makes me feel better. My wife has several other guns that she shoots regularly, but she wants to be comfortable with her primary carry. When she shot the Tomcat she really enjoyed it and the recoil was not bad at all. I guess the Seecamp will be worse so maybe she will only be shooting 15-20 rounds at a time. :( I guess that's why she has her 9mm and .22LR.
Thanks again!

Seecamp Issues/Questions
Based on the recommendations from several people on this site, the wife decided to get a Seecamp 32 instead of a Beretta Tomcat. After reading through the owners manual I think that we might be regretting the purchase, without having ever fired a shot. Of course maybe I'm misunderstanding things.
First, we were told that you must NEVER dry-fire the gun or it WILL break some of the internals (but they didn't have any .32 Snapcaps), yet on Seecamp's website it says that you CAN dry-fire the .32. Second, they give you a replacement spring because they know that you will break one eventually by touching the trigger while the magazine is out. Design flaw??? Third, they tell you that the firearm is extremely picky when it comes to ammo and so far it appears to be true. I had a couple of boxes of UMC .32ACP that I had previously purchased. They won't even fit in the magazine as they are too long. Fourth, the owners manual says that on the .380 they expect the recoil spring to need to be replaced every 300 rounds. They didn't give a number for the .32, but we intend to put well over 300 rounds through the gun in the next couple of months. We don't buy guns to look at, we buy them to shoot.
So please, someone help me feel better about our purchase. Tell me about the thousands of problem-free rounds you have shot through your LWS32. Tell me about it shooting ammo that doesn't cost $20 for 20 rounds. Tell me something good about it, PLEASE!
