[QUOTE="Mikem, post: 552337, member: 29"] I totally agree with not only with "what is comfortable in her hands" but more with "what she is comfortable shooting with". It might be comfortable to hold but she hates shooting due to recoil, etc. IMHO a 9mm has a very sharp recoil when shooting compared to a 40 S&W which to me is more of a slow push. I would see if the local gun shops/indoor shooting ranges rent out pistols to try out. I learned the hard way with my wife. She loved the feel of the S&W model 640 38 special but hated shooting it. She ended up with a Bersa Thunder in 380 acp. My concealed carry gun is a Springfield Armory XD-40 Sub-compact that I've probably carried for ten plus years now [/QUOTE]
