carry gun for little woman?

<< < (7/8) > >>

recurve shooter:
dane: thanks man. all good points. the legal side of things shouldnt be a problem for her. she is a collage student majoring in criminal justice, and is in her third year here. shes going to go for her masters. she has kept up i belive a 3.7 through collage. very smart girl, very cautious and calculatging, the kind of persom that dont do anything without knowing what the result will be ten years from now. i believe she can handle the legle side of it, and i believe that she would never draw a weapon unless she intended to kill. i trust that she can handle it.

now, that said, im not a handgun guy, so i dont have a lot of them for her to practice with. once we decide what to get for her there will be a rediculous amount of ammo sent through it, and hours of time learing every aspect of it before i let her have it. she's a good girl and she listens to me, and smart as a whip. i am possitive that she understands the responsibilitys involved with carrying, and i know she will do as she's supposed to.

now, back to the original question. what gun? revolvers: this is what i would prefer her have as well, but she is so little, she can shoot them, and likes them. a 38 snubby is no problem for her. i just dont realy know how she could conceal one on her. but i dont know what kinda holsters they make for ladys to carry in, ect. i love revolvers myself, and would prefer her have one. it will never jam, never misfire, and like yall said, no safty to wory with, just a trust worthy gun. pluss the slide wont cut her thumb off if she grips it wrong. :o and a double action trigger pull is to much for her. she litterally can barely get it to go off, and when she does, forget hitting anything with it. but i think it would be better to take the time to thumb cock the gun than to have to teach her to use a simi. hmmm. old 38 maby?

Kent D.:
My wife is about the same size, she likes to carry her 38 special snub nose. 

Kent D.:
A gun my wife bought not long ago is a 22 mag revolver.  The darenger looking thing.  When she carries it, she keeps rat shot in the first chamber.  That way if she is in danger, she is ready to blind the perp with the rat shot to the face, then she has 4 bullets to finish the job if needed.  With that said, she still likes to carry the 38 special i mentioned, the best.

El Destructo:
If my Wife can handle the Ruger GP 100...so can your Girl.....and you will never find a more Accurate....and definitely never find a stronger...well made Pistol as the GP 100...they are almost indestructible

Ryano:
If your looking for something cheap google "hi point fire arms" They are made in Ohio and you can get a brand new .380 for $140.00
The down side is they are kind of clunky and heavy. The up side is thier under 200 bucks and they actualy shoot really well. One of my co-workers has one in 9mm and he loves it. Shoots as good as or better than a lot of more expensive guns.
