[QUOTE="Rabbitcreekok, post: 1404657, member: 14809"] I would suggest she go to H & H or any well stocked gunstore and fondle all the likely looking guns until she finds one that feels good to her. Be sure she has no problem with handling the slide, if she chooses a semi-auto. Once she has narrowed the list down to a couple, then shoot them. The best gun for her should become apparent. I always encourage a new shooter to gain access to a .22 of some type so they can shoot lots to build up the basic skills at lesser recoil and lesser expense. Running a thousand rounds through a .22, while concentrating on basics will really help any new shooter. I also suggest that, after she makes the purchase, she enroll in a NRA Basic Pistol course, so she has a good start in safety and knowledge of ammunition and gun handling. [/QUOTE]
