| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77974710 United States10/06/2020 02:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Glock is out b/c I want more safeties. Quoting: Tennessee Patriot Springfield XD is out b/c she tried her brother’s and it was a bit too “blocky.” Seeking suggestions. We’ve got two gun stores lined up for her to come in and try a few. I’ve got specific names to ask for — guys that have agreed to get several out for her. We’re up for pretty much anything that she can carry (she is petite and has small hands). A Wilson Combat rig is likely too $$$. TIA! "Glock is out because I want more safeties"... re-read that statement. THAT could be the most deadliest thing I have ever read. ONE: the SAFETY is your finger/her finger in this case. Firearms don't just decide to go BANG. TWO: Hey, Dude's daughter reading this... DON'T listen to your Dad. When a bad guy wants to commit harm to you, you don't have time to ask him to wait while you unlock "all those safeties" your Dad wants you to have. Get a good holster, not some POS $20, learn how to draw and get on target FAST. Thumb safeties are one more thing to remember when the heat is on. Glocks and others are used everyday... DON'T listen to your Dad on this on. there's very few "Billy the Kid" shootouts going on. you almost always have advance warning that something is coming. just review tapes of today's encounters. situational awareness is worth 10X more than a "quick draw" holster. In fact, a quick draw holster is indicative of a lack of awareness, it's reactive, not proactive. . |

Come with 3 back straps to match your hand size. The gun is very ergonomic and has various models with and without safeties built in. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79391055 M&P9C comes with 12 round mags but will also take the standard 17 round M&P mags. They make an adapter that you can put over the 17 rounders to fill the space in 17 round mags. [link to thrumylens.org] |

Easy to load, easy to shoot, great for small hands. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 811261 to be clear, you're calling the decocker a safety, right? personally I avoid decockers and never carry a chambered round. I'm not a police officer and the odds of not having 1/2 second to cycle the slide is far lower than the odds of an accident. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79459281 10/06/2020 03:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Walther PPS, PPQ as small concealed carry guns. Quoting: ThePaleOne There exists a small version of the P99 with smaller mag and grip that also comes with very decent safety features for less experienced or "stressed" users, not GLOCK wielding Pros that spent day on the range. Walther P99-AS (Anti-Stress) series The first round has a tougher trigger pull than the rest. Also you can uncock the loaded weapon with a simple push button, still fires when trigger gets pulled trough. I like it. Love my PPQs and I was tempted to mention them but not sure the grip is small enough. They're contoured so it's a different fit. PPQ is my favorite these days. They are very accurate. |

Don't get the LC9, you'll pay more and the only difference is on the EC9 the sights are built into the slide and they are not painted white. Just add a white dot of paint on the sights if you need it and save some cash for ammo. Here is a review from hickok45... |

User ID: 79010541 United States10/06/2020 04:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ is a nice shooting gun as well. I’ve never personally liked S&W semi-autos, until I shot one. Priced reasonably as well. Might want to find a local range that rents guns (if they do that where you live), and take a few for a test-drive. More important than how a gun feels in the hand at the store, is how it feels when it’s shot. Quoting: Rein20 I don’t have personal experience with the new EZ version of the Shield, but it seems like a good candidate. Another worth consideration is the Sig 239. Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ 9mm or .380; with or without a built-in laser! THIS^^^^^^ Seagull Lake |

User ID: 77432258 United States10/06/2020 04:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, I had the same issue involving my teen daughter. Got her a Ruger LCP .380 but although it was perfectly sized for her small hands, the problem was the fact she couldn’t pull the slide back to chamber a round. She just doesn’t have the hand strength for the recoil spring. I went with a Ruger SR22 for her. Slightly larger, yes, but the slide is incredibly easy to pull back. Additionally, it has low recoil so trigger reset comes much easier for faster and more accurate shooting. The other advantage is that 22LR is still in plentiful supply. If you get your kid a 9mm, you may not be able to find ammo to practice with it! . Last Edited by Zovalex on 10/06/2020 04:56 PM “Mental slavery is the worst form of slavery.

You are not free... everything you are has been manufactured by Minds that have not your best interest. You are imprisoned by beliefs and not reality. Religions are mental programs to imprison your Mind.” -SOL |
