Friend asked for help..

[96firephoenix]

So a female friend of mine just asked me to recommend a pistol for her.

What do the ladies here shoot?

 

[THard6]

depends?
let's see a picture of her and maybe that will help!

the last girlfriend i had could pocket a .45 and out shoot me everytime we turned around.. (she was 6'2" nothing shy of 200LBS.)
the current lady i am with loves the feel, the recoil and everything of a .38 revolver. she has had several other guns infront of her. but is pretty confident in carrying the 38's

and it may also make a difference in her experience with a gun. is she just now starting to shoot? or has she been shooting and handeling guns for some time?
i don't mine handing a gal a simi-auto pistol, but for my girlfriend I feel much safer when she has a revolver..

My wife carries a Walther PPS 9mm. She really likes it.

Why not let a lady help you out?

I have a 9X18 Makarov I got from my Dad. It's not my ideal carry piece, but it'll get the job done. When money falls out of the sky, I'm leaning toward an M&P9c or Ruger LC9. I just like 9mm...

She is new to shooting, but her brother is in the Army, and is teaching her to shoot as he comes home on leave, and her dad shoots somewhat regularly. She's pretty gun-ho about this, and when she finally gets one, she'll practice with it until she gets good with it.

As for a picture, I know she wouldn't want one posted... She's roughly 5'3" and 130 lbs. Not model-thin but not chunky either.

My wife has a Springfield XD 9mm and I can't pry it out of her hands at the range. She's got small hands, too, but absolutely loves the fit of the gun.

Take her to a reputable gun store and let them help her decide what to get.

I EDC a Glock, usually a 26. Been known to tote around a 1911 on occasion as well. And purse always has a .38, Taurus 2" light weight model. The latter is NOT a first choice firearm for new shooters.

Glock 19

My girlfriend has a Bersa .380 and loves the thing to death.

My wife loves her Kel Tec p32

Wifey likes her Glock 23

Does she have small hands? A friend of mine (petite girl) has such h small hands that she can't grip a flock properly. She was fine with a s&w m&p9c or the shield though

 

[96firephoenix]

the ones that she has liked the most so far have been the Bersa Thunder and the Compact Glocks...

Thanks for your help, she appreciates it!
