It would either have to be a very good looking, well made M1 Carbine copy, or an inexpensive (south of $500 msrp) new design built to take all the modern add on toys like lights, optics, verticle grips,etc, etc.

It'd kinda big, but I like the S&W 610 with the 4".

Get over it, the Beretta is the gun the military picked. Until they come up with a new kind of ammo (caseless maybe, and then only if if won't work in the Beretta) or some sort of directed energy weapon (a "ray gun" in 50 years) the Beretta will be the issue sidearm for most.

The TRP also has a checkered frontstrap, 20 LPI. That was too course for my taste, so I sold mine on Gunbroker.

Like the song says, "All by myself."

4" revolver in .357 magnum is the way I would go. Easier on old sore hands. If she can't handle .357, you could download some handloads for her that would still exceed 38 Special. Just a thought.

Boonie hat offers more sun protection and seems to work better with scoped rifles.

Me,,, I just like guns. Rails, no rails, who cares? If the price is right and I like it, she's coming home with me.

S&W Pro Series 1911

22 Conversion I have the Wilson Combat .22 Conversion Kit and I think it is as good as a purpose built .22 pistol. No issues with standard velocity or high velocity loads.

Since you mention a TRP Operator (a light rail model 1911), I would bet a dollar you are planning on putting a light on the gun. If you are new to guns/have little to no training, I would not put a light on the gun. For a novice I think a flashlight that is seperate of the gun is a better way...

10mm 1911 The best looking 10mm 1911's out there right now seem to be coming from, www.fusionfirearms.com But that's just my opinion.

I don't change what I carry for the zoo,,,, I just have to keep an eye on more animals than usual:what:.
