..buying a gun for a lady is like going to buy her a pair of shoes...regardless of what "you" or any of "us" think...it's going to be wrong. Because if you don't know her well enough to already know what she should have none of us are going to be able to tell you either....because we don't know her at all.

So instead of wasting money on "hardware" get her some "software" like a NRA Basic Pistol class and then she can make an informed decision and then you can buy her the right gun the first time as a graduation gift.

And having taught NRA Basic Pistol and Personal Protection classes since 1991 I can tell you that the women who have introduced themselves have ALL had the wrong guns bought for them...

All very true, especially the handguns the women brought to class, but having taught a LOT of the same classes to women as you. I had found that most women do better starting off with a revolver, which is the question the OP presented.

Have your daughter try as many semi-autos and revolvers as you can. She will tell you what she wants. My wife and youngest daughter have Shields. My oldest daughter carries a Kahr.

I taught my daughters how to shoot with a revolver first...mostly my old LAPD revolvers, which are DAO. A K-frame DAO with wadcutters is an excellent starting tool. We went on to semis later, if they wanted to. But the revolvers were the primary house guns, easily manipulated, accurate and utterly dependable. Too easy.

Later on, semi-autos were introduced. Revolvers are still the go-to guns around the house, though.

We also did some advanced stuff with 240Bs...

My youngest daughter is now an accomplished bullseye shooter and loves shooting anything different. [Linked Image]
