I can't argue with that unless she really hates shooting it. Those little fuckers bite, but I love them as carry guns (specifically the S&W 642).

I really like the looks of the walther pk380 and i think they come in fashionable colors which may entice her to want to learn how to shoot. But what it really comes down to for my mental health, is which one is going to stop a potential threat more effectively for a woman. I have family members and friends who wife's carry .380 and seem to like the caliber, but i thought it might make an interesting discussion here. So...fire away with suggestions.

BillyOblivion wrote:Oddly enough though the REAL reason to pick the nine is that out of comparable gun it's going to be a "softer" shooter. Most .380s are straight blowback, and have higher perceived recoil. If you have testosterone or want people to think you do, then you don't care. Most women aren't out to prove how tough they are, and would prefer something a little more comfortable to shoot.
