My husband has one, but I would like my own. I'd like something smaller-- not sure if they make "girl" guns, but I'd like that. I have tiny ass little hands and a weak grip, and the uhhh kick? Not sure of word but I don't want a gun that is going to fly outta my tiny ass weak hands when it fires...

I am a smidge paranoid when my husband goes out of town for work. Also with how things are proceeding in my country, I don't want to be in Nazi Germany 2.0: The Electric Boogaloo without a weapon. I am much more of a knife girl, but a gun is a good deterrent.

It is a good skill to have, shooting a hand gun. Imo everyone in the US should have it (if they want).

    My wife (and I) loves her Walther CCP. It's an easy rack, soft shooter even in the 9mm. She has tiny hands, and I have slightly larger than normal, and it fits both our hands perfectly. You can even get it in .380 for even less recoil.

    My first was a Smith and Wesson EZ shield in 9mm, also an easy rack, but a bit more recoil.
