My only possible concern is that with ultralights the recoil can be quite a sting.

They are often recommended for women but once they get a taste of the recoil they dont want to shoot it.

I wouldn’t shy away from a taurus, they have a lifetime transferable warranty.

But you may want to let her shoot one first. In fact I recommend that you shoot any gun you plan to carry before you buy it just to be sure you are comfortable with it.

Thanks; that’s a good point that I hadn’t considered.

The weight difference *is* significant; 13.5oz in titanium vs. 22.5oz in stainless, from the Taurus website. I can see how that might be a problem, recoil-wise.

The idea of shooting it first before buying is of course a good one. I just have to figure out how to pull it off before her B-day. ;-)
