Just loved that picture so bad that I also stole it!

Jenn; Fred’s advice is the real deal. I might add that contacting your local NRA can really help. There are many programs there for women, especially beginning shooters.

Depending on where you live there most likely is a reputable place to find effective and practical training. Try contacting
http://www.frontsight.com/ and see if they have a local affiliate. If you are close to the Denver area I can recommend Prairie Arms in Littleton, Colorado.

In any case listen to what has been posted here. This persons or that persons “perfect” handgun in all probability will not be the best for you. A hit with a 22 beats a miss from a 50 AE every time when the feces hit the rotating oscillator!

When I was still teaching tactical pistol I kept several different pistols around for that very reason. The men and women could try out different types and then make an informed decision as to what they should purchase. The over all woman’s favorite? The Smith & Wesson “Lady Smith.”

I hope this helped.

Forget the sidebar, that would make an excellent bumper sticker.

Just sayin’.

I personally like the Desert Eagle Fred, but that’s my personal choice (the Tavor is better but not legal in the US yet). And you are right. No reputable dealer would ever recommend a gun to a person without knowing something about his or her customer. A good dealer not only knows something about his or her customer, but helps people buying their first gun into deciding which one is the best for them. That is how they get repeat business and new customers.

I don’t need to know who’s holding the shotgun, where it is pointed is all I concern myself with.

Nice picture, Fred (and Gawfer). Snagged!

Nothing strikes more fear in me than a scared woman with a shotgun in her hands.

AWESOME!

Jenn, worst mistake ever made was buying a handgun for my wife, I told her it was for protection, I told her aim for center mass, I took her to the range, I let her shoot and get comfortable with it, she fired it several times and liked it….Then one night, I came home from work early, she got startled grabbed the gun, met me in a dark hallway waving it around like a high pressure water hose and screaming bloody murder, never fired a shot cause she couldn’t get the safety off…..THANK GOD! But had it been an actual intruder, NO HELP AT ALL.
She now has a mossberg riot shotgun, and I call before I come home early.

Point is a handgun requires a lot of time and effort and comfort, and Fred is right get something simple, and that is comfortable for you.

Gawfer, that’s exactly what I did..

Only reason I didn’t get a .50 Desert Eagle was I figure 14 rounds outta this XD is plenty to take care of any business I may have to attend too…

But seriously, not knowing ANYTHING personal about Jenn, I wouldn’t make ANY recommendation, no REAL gun person would…

What’s perfect for me may be wrong for you, and what Wicked Step Mother is comfortable with may blast out of an inexperienced hand…

Just sayin’…
