[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 1184613, member: 707"] You need to take her someplace where you can spend a little change, and can rent a couple or three of these options for her to try. LCP, Keltec, etc, are small and concealable, but very snappy (more so to me than the PPK). I have a Seecamp .32, for reference, having gotten out of .380 because of the size, several years ago. My youngest daughter (19 y/o, 5'6", 120-ish) liked the "boom-flash" from the Seecamp, but [U]didn't want to shoot it to actually hit things.[/U] Unless she's very experienced, ankle is bad, in so many ways, but particularly in the fact that a grown man can fold up a "small, pretty girl" who's in a kneeling position, with no effort at all. I'd suggest the PPK or the Sig .232, as they offer a frame with weight and large grip surface, and minimal controls to fugger with. The frame is easy to grip, as are the slides, and the mainsprings are not as stout as most (not all) 9mms. Depending on her body-type and style of dress, appendix carry might work best, as women have longer abdomens. Hip, 3-5 o'clock involves some convoluted movement to draw for most females; purse is okay(look at Galco leather), if she's a girl whose purse never leaves her shoulder/hand. You're close to Mike Brown and TSSA. $200 or so on a class for her is cheaper than $400 on something that sits at home. [/QUOTE]
