Guns for girls!

[Nayls47]

You didn't say what revolver you are using now so I'm not sure what type of recoil would be to much. I would assume that she would want a compact so I would suggest a Kahr PM9 or CW9, Ruger LC9 or a Sig Sauer P938 for a 9mm. A Kahr P380 or CW380, Ruger LCP, Sig Sauer P238. Possibly a small .38 Special Revolver.
If you live around Noble County I could let you and your boy friend shoot the Sig P938, P238 the Ruger LCP or a Taurus 85 .38 spl.

I would def go with 9mm. Kahr CW9 is a great gun, the slide is a little harder to rack for my wife. But hands down I would recommend the Beretta Nano. It shoots great, solid build, rack action is downright gorgeous. Also, for such a small carry weapon it is really fun at the range.

My girl has a Ruger LCR in . 38. Practices with standard rounds, then carries with + p gold dots. Works well for her.

My daughter has a Bersa Thunder 380cc. .380 or 9mm short.

Fits her hand perfectly. Low recoil. Easy to carry.

We girlied it up for her.

She loves shooting my Sig P238, but I was buying and she got the $250 gun and not the $600 gun.

Lots of good recommendations so far. If you're into revolvers I would lean towards the Ruger Lcr. If you want a semi-auto I would recommend trying out a glock 26. The best way to decide is to try out a few, either at shooting range where you can rent them or meet up with some local members who will let you try theirs.

i would also recomend the glock 26

I know the selection in stores is limited but go handle some and see how they fit you. My wife loves her Bersa Thunder 380. Also the S&W 642 or Ruger LCP .38 are easily concealed with a good caliber. I hear good reviews of the Ruger LC9 as well. It just depends what you feel comfortable with.

1st, I would recommend an INGO account for you individually. Group ones seem to run into trouble.
2nd, try different weapons out. Get what you feel comfortable carrying and/or shooting.
You may want to keep an eye out for Meet & Shoots in your area. Great way to try out different weapons. And other female shooters.
We have some great M&Ss in northwest IN. If you two are in this area, I can post a link.

Check out as many as you can and see what feels good to you. Make sure to look at the Walther PPS, my wife loves hers.

Anything but pink.

Kind of depends on the size of your hands, your sensitivity to recoil, your physical ability to manipulate a slide...etc.
What general location are you?

Kel-Tec!

The Kel-Tec PF9 is a sweet compact 9mm!

 

[melensdad]

My daughter has a full size Browning Hi-Power 9mm and a compact Taurus PT-111. She loves them both. She also enjoys, and regularly tries to claim my S&W 625 revolver in 45acp.

I bought my wife a Walther P22 and she likes it. She wants little to no recoil though.
