Ladies & Gentlemen: Any other recommendations? Do you disagree with anything on this list or wish something else had been included?
Oooooh...Guns for Gals bump :)
My wife loves her Kahr PM9.
What does she like about it?
I carry a Smith and Wesson 38 Police Special. Does the job just right for me. I have a Taurus *Lady Gun* but I still prefer the 38.
There are no guns for guys.
There are guns.
There are people.
People with all sizes and shapes of hands.
People with widely varied tolerance for mechanical complexity.
People with widely varied physical strength.
The question is not "What's a good gun for a girl?" or "What's a good gun for a guy?"
The question is "What's the right gun for YOU?"
I can't answer that for you. Neither can Captain Keyboard Commando.
Only YOU can find the right gun for YOU, and that by trying.
An experienced shooter or instructor can help.
That's best done in person.
BDA .380 with Packmyr grips.
A 357 revolver is a nice one too, you can shoot 38 special round through it for target shooting and the 357 rounds for stopping power.
Bump
Hey do you have that post saved so you can copy and paste tomorrow, next week, next month?
Glad to see it was mostly semi-autos. There is a myth among male shooters that the “little lady” needs a tiny revolver in a mouse-caliber.

Ruger SP101 or GP100 if your hands are big enough. The LCR also is available in .357 Magnum.
By the way some women can’t use an automatic, as they don’t have the strength to rack the slide.
Nice selection and I do not disagree with anything! For a few more ounces (23), a lady might consider the Steyr M-9, a fine-shooting and accurate piece, and with those great Triangle/Trapazoid sights..
My wife has a Smith and Wesson Ladysmith in .357. It’s from the same ‘family’ as the 642 on the list (’J’ Frame?), but it’s stainless steel insetad of aluminum, so it’s a bit heavier than the .38+P 642. Her Ladysmith also has rosewood grips instead of pink rubber. It is a fine and very reliable weapon.
She also has a Taurus PT 111 (possibly an older version of the Millenium Pro 111 on the list?). It is chambered for 9 mm and has also been a very reliable weapon.
Is “Captain Keyboard Commando’ any relation to Captain Kangaroo?
I love my little Colt 25 automatic...and if that doesn’t stop an intruder, I can grab my Mossberg 510 pump action 20 gauge...I might go down, but I’ll go down fightin’!
