Usually, what people recommend is what they own.
Maybe I'm just overly paranoid.

without ever making another comment. No doubt, we scared her off.. I see your point regarding paranoia BTW, but I doubt the BATFE is lurking.
These threads usually all wind up the same; the only right answer is for her to get professional training, and try several guns until she finds something she's comfortable with.
Unfortunately, the litany of "this is the best gun EVER" replies serves only to confuse.

Good point, but this is a fairly typical topic for a lurker to post. But we're right, we should be skeptical.
