Ok so i have a dilema here. My everyday carry is a glock 19 so im good there. I was getting ready to buy a RIA 1911 for the range, maybe a project. I've just always wanted one. Here's the problem, I just started working nights and my girlfrend who i live with is afraid to be alone at night. So instead of getting the ria im thinking im gonna get something I can keep at home incase she ever needs it. Taking into account that she has never shot a gun I'm looking for a .380. I'm not downing on women at all, its just that shes never shot a gun. I know theres women out there that can rock a .45 with the best of them. Im getting a new gun either way so its a win win for me. I'm gonna start taking her to the range and im probably gonna have her start with a 22, which i already have.
With all that said what is a good, reliable .380(or even a 9mm) that can be had for around $400. She has small hands and she can barely rack the slide on my glock so I have to take that into account. I could have just looked online for one but I would like to hear some personal opinions on what you guys have actually owned or shot. I would also like it to be a good looking gun(I mean im giving up a 1911 for it lol). I like the walther pk380, so if anyone has one of those whats your opinion on it.
Thanks
