I never said anything about her having to pay for it. By all means, pay for it for her if you'd like. However, the point of this thread is that she needs to pick it out, and she needs to make an informed decision, but it should be HER decision, not anyone else's.

My wife picked out all of her own guns. I wouldn't any more pick out a gun for her than I'd pick out a purse. It has to fit her and it has to meet her standards on looks before it's bought.

Amen! The biggest reason the above must be true is that if the owners picks out a gun then THEY have made the decision, not someone else. THEY are much more likely to carry the gun and train with it. It is a mindset issue.

The only gun my wife has that she did not pick out for herself is the one i had custom made for her for christmas a few years back .

I bought my girlfriend a S&W 360 for her first gun,She never shot a gun before and seems to like it very well.her patters are very good at 7 yrss,and the recoil isn't bad at all. all around great gun for a woman...

When my wife decided she needed a handgun we went to the range with my XD.40 and .45 my Kimber .45 and S&W model 19-4 .357 snubby. She shot them all and we went right out and she picked out a Ruger SP101 snubby and loved the .357 the most by far! I am thankful she didn't want my XD's or my Kimber! LOL! But with small hands and a newbie to carrying a handgun I think a revolver is the best 1st carry gun for anyone!

If my wife choose looks over function I would have been left in the dirt,I could never buy anything for her,strong willed and strong minded,works for me.

My wife's preferred gun is a Walther PPS in 9mm, it's small enough to carry and to easily conceal on a small body and it fits her hands really well. Accurate (as accurate as a sub-compact can be) yet small and easily concealable.
