If she is new to shooting, have her start off with a .22,if she wants when she builds up her self confidence, she can graduate to something bigger! Beth is right!

The Beretta 32's are a perfect little firarm for the woman. My wife loves hers. I know a 32 aint the biggest but it is easy to handle and Berett has been making hand guns fer a while and their quality is great. Price is not too out over the top.

well, i personally would suggest something with less trigger pull, my dad bought my mom a revolver. My mom dad gf and I went to my sisters BF's house and shot it and **** his glock. My gf wasnt even able to pull the trigger on the revolver and my mom said she hated it. Both of them thought the glock was alot of fun to shoot and shot very well with it. I'm not suggesting a glock, but im suggesting no to any revolver.

I got mine a smith and wesson airweight 38 spl shes an ok shot with it and if she ever needs it just point and shoot no safety to fiddle with or mag release to accidentally hit

My wife had fired a 38 snubbie before and it scared her and she didn't care to shoot anything else. I enjoy C & R pistols and rifles and have several, I bought a CZ-82 and finally talked her into shooting it.......she has now decided that it belongs to her! Bad part is that I really enjoy shooting this pistol too.....guess I can get another one now!

Get her something like a Beretta or Walther .32 acp or maybe a Bersa Thunder .380 then maybe a year later a 9mm. Don't start her on anything with to much recoil.

Has anyone had experience with the Walther ppks .32 acp?
