Thinking about getting a gun.It has to be easy to handle for a lady.Any suggestions welcomed.
Home and I am in Pa,can get one easy.Had an incident today was afraid and went looking for my husband’s gun but he took it with him on a trip.I never want to feel helpless again.
I’m looking too. But cannot pull trigger on Ruger SR9c.....any other suggestions for really really limp wrists?
There’s a gun range not far from us.
For carry, a Ruger LCR 22: 15 oz, 8 shot revolver that is easy to shoot well. About $400.
That looks good.
I’m always surprised how many women like shooting a 1911. They often handle it’s size and weight surprisingly well, and the weight makes the perceived recoil relatively low for the size of the round. Few women ultimately choose one, but don’t rule it out, especially for at-home use.
Oh God that’s funny.
Small 380, 6 + 1, easy for concealed carry: Ruger LCP
Way to big.
First find a reputable gun dealer then you must find something that you can handle. The Gun dealer should be able to find something to fit your hand and calculate the size and caliber you’d be able to habdle. Next if possible get to the range and get good instruction on handling your purchase. Then practice, practice, practice.

Ruger SP101. .357, but you can shoot .38sp through it until you graduate.
ruger lcr, .38 model. the design and grip absorb a lot of the recoil, it’s designed very well.
Hon, I’ve tried to put my woman on a Glock, S&W .38 snubbie, Springfield XD, Sig and even a Ruger SR9.
You know what she liked better than anything at the gunshow?
Browning BuckMark. I tried to tell her “baby, a .22 target pistol is not a suitable weapon for self defense.”
Might as well have been telling Obamalamadingdong to give up being a nitwit.
My advice to you is to find a trainer and a gun shop that will rent you whatever feels right in your hand. Shoot, shoot and shoot some more. Us dang fools will never succeed at telling you what is right for you, only you can make the choice. You will know it when you find it, hold it, shoot it and learn to conceal it.
Good luck, but make the decision that you are willing to carry a piece of iron around with you all day, and you are willing to snuff some idjit that wants to take your life away from you.
You need to provide more details.
Are you talking about a gun for home defense?
Are you talking about one you want to carry with you?
If the latter, have you looked into the “carry” laws in your state? Also, do you have any experience with a firearm? You’ll need some training regardless of the answers to these questions.
Second question, are you willing to take another Human’s life? If you are not, DO NOT go armed. The bad guys will use your weapon on you if you don't kill them first and they will sue you if you just shoot to wound! If you can't make a conscious decision to use deadly force if it is called for, let the police or someone else protect you. Just my $0.02 worth.
Revolver - Lady Rossi holds 5 38 cal rounds, and is not as sophisticated as a SA. Small grip.
OK,We got lots of them.I’m in Pa.I am starting not to feel safe in my home when everyone is away and I don’t ever want to feel that again.
