[QUOTE="SigInBoots, post: 2061469, member: 17769"] Sign her up for Girls Day Out at Oklahoma Personal Defense: [url]http://oklahomapersonaldefense.com/schedule.html[/url] She'll get loads of practical information in that class which is for women only, including learning safe gun handling, grip, stance, sight picture, appropriate holsters, finding the right gun, and a few things that one would never pick up in a class where men are present. It is a fantastic introduction to handguns, but even women who have been shooting informally for years find that they learn something new there. Very relaxed and non-threatening. My sister and I attended together when we first became interested in shooting and it launched an affinity for guns for both of us. I can't suggest strongly enough that your wife tries several different guns in order to find the one that she likes best. As someone above said, if she doesn't like it, she won't enjoy shooting it, and that kills all of the fun and most of the interest in having one on your hip. I've got a 9mm S&W Shield and a Sig P228, and love them both. The Sig is easily my favorite, but it's a bit bulky for carry. For practice, though? I've never fired a 9mm or higher that I like better. However, the Shield is a lot easier to hide. [/QUOTE]
