[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 1717383, member: 12170"] It has been hit on elsewhere in this thread but is worth repeating. I think most people when shopping for a firearm for their wives/girlfriends tend to look at the smaller weapons in full sized calibers. These firearms typically have a more harsh 'snappier' recoil then their full sized counterparts. I think the best thing to do is to purchase a reputable semi-auto .22 caliber to train her on. This will allow her to get used to the function of a firearm without any harsh recoil. As an added benefit...you get a .22! After this then step up to a full sized caliber with a firearm that she picks out and fits her best. I have taught many people to shoot over the years and always start new shooters out with a .22.
