[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 2587733, member: 34599"] You are on the right track. What I would also suggest is start with a rental 22, then move up to a 380 then a 9 and then 40 and if she wants to, try a 45. Let her find the caliber she likes. Then let her look at weapons for sale in the caliber she likes. I did that with my daughter. Surprisingly she ended up liking her husbands 9 MM. When my wife wanted a concealed carry weapon she was sure she wanted a Ruger. She knew she liked the 380. We went to the range and rented the LCP. She shot about 20 rounds and said some colorful language. We ended up going to the sales section where she looked at a lot of guns. She ended up with a Sig P238 and loves shooting it. At the same time, there was another couple trying to return a firearm the husband had ought for his wife. She hated it. He had a hard time understanding why because he thought it was perfect for her. As you said the individual has, absolutely has to be comfortable with the weapon of they won't want to shoot it and when they do won't be as accurate as they could be. Guide but let her make all the decisions. She will thank you later when she has a target she is really proud of. [/QUOTE]
