I was at Cabela's tonight.....

Most ladies don't have the strength to properly pull the slide on auto hand guns.
Then there all the variables to remember with different guns (decocker, safety, etc..,)
The revolver is the simple to use, light weight & compact gun to put in the purse.
I got my wife one of these, The ported barrel helps with the kick.
The double action trigger is hard to shoot well, but at get away from me distances it sure beats a shoe.

Then I got her a Vanguard trigger cover to help her feel comfortable carrying it in her purse or were ever.
& then the Barami hip grip.

Mizzly: I will respectfully disagree with this very sexist statement. I am a female, and I shoot with several females, and all of us have the strength to pull the slide. I shoot Springfield XD's, some of my friends shoot Glock 19s, 34s, etc.; Please don't lump "all women" into this very inaccurate statement.
I was once in a Scheel's store looking for a handgun for myself and the salesman had the audacity to tell me that "all women should shoot .22's as they aren't strong enough for anything bigger." I went to the manager and let them know that I will be taking my business elsewhere. I shoot 9mm just fine, I even shoot .45 without problems.
Oh, and I carry a PF-9, it has a bit of a kick, but I can hit a man shaped target 7 of 7 shots at 10-15 feet without problems!

My wife didn't really care for that statement either. She and my daughter are both small and can handle everything up to .44 mag without any problem, even DA.
Maybe that's why I'm no good at doing dishes and laundry, I'm just too strong.

Most men don't properly pull the rack the slide, once shown how to properly operate the slide almost anyone can, my daugter could on my 1911 and any other semi auto I put in front of her a 10. Now the recoil at 10 she was handling 22's and .380's without a problem, but she could not take the recoil of a .38 revolver.

Too complicated with 3 to 5 (trigger, safety or safeties, maybe a hammer, and a slide release)? Better not let her drive, as an automobile has FAR more confusing doodads to futz with ...... sheesh!
