There are purses designed for concealed carry. In those, something like a Glock 42 would work fine. Certainly shouldn't just be tossed into a regular purse, though, unless in a proper holster. But you're right that a revolver is a good choice for that due to the long, heavy, trigger pull.


a purse designed for the pistol would be fantastic, but I think a girl at her age would probably not go that route. This is why I say revolver, and I don't believe that her father would ever let her just dump a revolver in her purse without being in a holster. There's a lot going on inside of a purse a lot of things floating around to catch on a trigger.dirt and debris which are always floating around in a woman's purse :-)play havoc on semiautomatics even inside of a holster hence the revolver. At 5 foot and 100 pounds if she had a revolver with a heavy trigger pull she would most likely need to have a trigger job.
