My grandma only shoots Desert Eagles in .50.Most people would be surprised how many ladies enjoy the full sized pistols after shooting them. It really is time to stop with all the "ladies gun" stuff.

Those full sized pistols are scary. Much better to give them a pink micro pistol. /purpleMost people would be surprised how many ladies enjoy the full sized pistols after shooting them. It really is time to stop with all the "ladies gun" stuff.
This right here.the ability to rack the slide is a minor issue. They most likely would never be doing emergency mag reloads.
If it is for price, there are a lot of options, but considering how many micro 9mm guns are out there, why go smaller caliber for the same size gun?
Because recoil is a relationship between size of the gun and size of the cartridge. The perception that .380s have less recoil is FALSE. How many micro pocket guns with pink or purple grips have been sold to people under that pretense. Now reduced felt recoil of .380 in a larger gun would make sense. Of course 9mm in an even larger gun might make more sense.
I have found that, especially in the women I have taught to shoot, that "perception" is the key word in finding the right fit in handgun. I have shot many of the micro .380 handguns and have found that the P238 has the lightest perceived recoil. My wife believes the same. Others thought my Taurus 85, or the CM9 had lighter recoil. The thing is...everyone must find what works the best for them. If you are not recoil sensitive, it is hard to understand why one person chooses one pistol over the other.
This argument worked on me, but I cannot get my wife to shoot my CM9 of P938 anymore. "Too much kick." She is in love with her P238 Rainbow. I could not get it away from her for anything.If it is for price, there are a lot of options, but considering how many micro 9mm guns are out there, why go smaller caliber for the same size gun?
Perception is important. I have let people shoot a full size 1911 in 9mm with reduced loads and they have handed it back saying too much recoil. Why? Because the gun is big, heavy and scary. It's all about mindset.

My wife has the same problem and the answer for her was the Bersa 380 , very manageable slide
Have her try the G43. Pretty good recoil.
I tried to convince her that she should try the Bersa...she is not interested. Even though I have 20 handguns, she for some reason believes she only needs one.
I want one of those for myself...but can't convince the boss that I need 21 handguns.
