[QUOTE="SoonerDVM, post: 1304230, member: 7961"] Here's the one thing I would strongly suggest: Way too many people, including people who should know better, want to get a really small gun for a woman because "she's a woman, she has small hands, she can't handle something bigger." My first gun was a little 9 mm keltec style gun and it kicks hard and actually hurts my hands. But my dad thought that since I'm a woman I needed a smaller gun (and for those who haven't met me, I am NOT a dainty little thing). When I upgraded to a g19, it was a whole new world. In comparison, it practically doesn't kick at all. It's a bigger gun, but I'm MUCH more comfortable with it. BTW - he did the same thing with my mom and got her a gun she really can't handle. I've been trying to talk her into a glock. Get her a bigger gun. One that she can still hold comfortably and conceal, but one that will absorb as much of the recoil as possible. [/QUOTE]
