I have a shoot this weekend, but in the evening sometime after work this week would be good.Hey thanks Green! Might take you up on this soon!
Funny thing is that she is a great shot with it. Just too much recoil. I have sold it since then and I am waiting to get a day off work to get the replacement revolver.If a revolver is on the plate then start with a K-frame and .38's. I always tell people a J-frame is not a beginner's guns, it is a pro's gun. Carry may be easy, but shooting well is not.

It's paid for and waiting for me to do the paperwork. I opted for the Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp.

This is the one!
I am...You should make a comparison video.
Nice choice with the .380, with the new modern ammo, it is a deadly round. I can only pocket carry at work, so it was the LCP until the Taurus Specter came out. So much smoother to shoot than my LCP, and the beaver tail is longer, so the slide doesn't cut my fat hands. Combined with my ARX bullets, it weighs nothing.You need a 3-4" barrel to get any power from a .38.
How about a LCP in .380 ? The one with the older style safe trigger. Smith has a newer 380 as well.
Daughter is getting her CCL and wants to find a SA - she wants .380 but I'll 'talk' her into a 9 mm. What are you ladies carrying or what is Youse Guys ladies' carrying? Hint - my daughter is on the 'petite' side. Likes, dislikes & general info appreciated.

My daughter's first ccw as well. 290RS. She is very petite and easy to conceal with extended mag. Favorite carry is appendix and flashbang holster.We just bought a S&W P.C. Shield 9mm for my fiance to use a couple of weeks ago. She has smallish hands.
I just bought a Sig P290 RS a couple of weeks ago to replace my snubbie and I'm loving it. With the six round mag it's pretty small so it might be good for your daughter.
I keep the extended mag in it because the grip is tiny and I don't have big hands. It's also super flat.
The early P290's had some issues that they supposedly fixed in the RS model. They made some changes, but Sig discontinued them shortly thereafter for a different series, so beware.
Mine's fine so far but it's not even broken in yet.

My wife carries an ultralight .357 snub in her purse. It's an upgrade to the .22 she used to carry.While not a SA, you should be able to get a sig 365 for about $1 after all the bugs are worked out.
If I had a daughter she'd carry a snub .38 and no backtalk.
Yep. And there's two steps up in .38 power and then the magnums, if one has/wants to shoot those.. not many do out of an 11 ounce gun, even though they "can".My wife carries an ultralight .357 snub in her purse. It's an upgrade to the .22 she used to carry.
No, she doesn't carry magnum ammo, only .38 standard, due to the recoil issues. BUT, she can carry them when she wants.
Agreed totally. If the 380 is here ticket go with that.But it all depends on her what gun does she shoot best .if she can hit the target with a 380 .
And can't with a 9mm I would say get the 380
How about an LCR in .327 Federal?AND this may happen once she tries my Mod 60 Smith - I gave her a Taurus 605 as her first gun a few years ago as she shot it really well and liked it but being a .357 it is a bit bulkier. I have a feeling once she tries my Mod 60 she is going to want one - or a Mod 36.
