Need advice about a gun

.380 auto

Glock 19 9mm

I am currently loaning mine to my grandmother... Her 1911 Colt 45 was too heavy for her.

She likes it a lot.

I was just looking at that one.

Not trying to be your dad, just remember the shorter the barrel, the easier to frick up by accident.

Do you think that a revolver or a semi automatic is better?

Coastie with a gun?............and bullets?







ETA:

Walther P99

My wife loves the one she has

Has interchangable backstrap to fit different hand sizes

Go to a good gun store and talk to someone there. It's like driving a car. What works well and sits well in your hand varies from person to person, and you won't know until you get the feel of it. You can't shoot a gun very well that doesn't feel right in your hands either.

Beretta Px4

Sub-compact is tiny, but still carries 13 rounds. You could also look at the compact or full sized if you are fine carrying a normal sized pistol.

Ruger LC380

Another little sub-compact.

This is what I was thinking. I'm probably going to get my brother to go with me and help me pick one out. I mainly want one that isn't extremely heavy or big (can fit in my purse), and is easier for someone with smaller hands to handle.


I'm thinking that I like the semi automatics better than the revolvers. I just need to do some research and see what I really want.
