Our anniversary and her birthday is coming up and I'm toying with getting her a handgun. What are your suggestions for her first gun and the pros and cons? I let her shoot my .40 a while back and it was a bit much. She didn't feel confident with it.

The .22LR cal. is the way to go for a first gun if she gets comfortable with it and can hit a target, then she could move up to a bigger caliber.Try a revolver for her first gun also and it is still the most goof-proof weaponDisclaimer: Steroid use is illegal in a vast number of countries around the world.

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
Im not sure what kind of. 40 you have but I shot my buddys glock. 40 and the recoil was very minimal and the gun was extremely comfortable. I wouldn't think twice about buying a girl one of those. Also they are all around great gunsLIFT BIG, EAT BIG, GET BIG!Comment

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
I got mine a 5 shot 38 lady smith by s&w its very lite and not too much to handle, i also have the glock 23 witch is a bit much for my girl to fire with any skill. I sent her to a class and she's on the money with it now. Hope this helped one thing i had to press to her is it does no good stuffed down in her purse.Comment

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
bluegill beat me to it, a 38 revolver is a good starter along with a .22 also. I would suggest a .22 only b/c ammo is so cheap that she could shoot all day for an entire week on $40!"To gain strength on the outside it takes a greater strength within!"

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
Official old person term!!! All the old timers loved their revolvers because of little maintenance. You could dip it in maple syrup, drag it behind your car for two hours, pick it up, pull the trigger and it goes BANG!Originally posted by jipped genes View PostA government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. -Thomas JeffersonComment

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
I was thinking either .22 or .38 also. I think either of those will be a good choice. I just wanted to hear other people's thoughts on this as well."He woke up because I kept punching him in the face." --Thiago Alves

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
MY WIFE HAS A GLOCK 19 9MM AND LOVES IT....CHEAP TO TARGET SHOOT WITH AND ENOUGH FOR HER TO PROTECT HERSELF WITH ALSO. 15 IN THE CLIP ISNT BAD EITHER - SO IF SHE DOESNT HIT YOU WITH ONE..SHES GOT MORE FOR YA!!!

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
I was wondering if a 9mm might be too much. I wanted to surprise her with it, so I didn't want to get her to go try them....but that would be best, I guess"He woke up because I kept punching him in the face." --Thiago Alves

Re: Gun for the wife....suggestions
Ruger LCP .38 is a great choice. A friend of mine bought one for his wife and I let my fiancée shoot it and she loved it. It's a hammerless revolver (concealed hammer) so very easy to use. If you want something a with a little larger frame then I would opt for the Springfield XDM 9mm. It's very easy to use and has minimal recoil, plus it has a safety, unlike Glocks. You get 19+1 rounds in this so there's plenty of shots in case the need. I have the standard size one and absolutely love it. It has never jammed on me in close to 1,000 rounds of various ammo.Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
