| I work at a local gun shop and it totally amazes me the number of men who try to persuade a female to purchase a certain firearm. "This one is small, it would be good for you" no matter what caliber, is a common phrase. I usually try to be as informative as possible, find out if it is to be carried or a home defense weapon. Make some suggestions based on the answers and suggest going home and doing some research on their own. I notice the male sales associates doing the same thing as the husband, boyfriend, etc... "this is a good gun for you" Only the actual user of the firearm can make the decision. The gun must fit your hand comfortably! I love some brands because or reliability of the manfacturer, but they simply don't fit my hand. Never buy on impulse, I have seen MANY handguns traded back in because after going home and shooting they found it wasn't the best choice for them. Best suggestion out there "find a friend who has the same gun you are thinking about buying and test it for yourself." |
