I am looking to find a concealed carry autoloader option for my ladyfriend that packs a punch, but lacks a lot of recoil. I have taken her shooting several times and she is deathly afraid of my friend's Beretta PX4 Storm .40 but seems to tolerate my S&W M&P .40 just fine.
She enjoys shooting and I want to make her feel at home doing it. However, I want her to be comfortable with a firearm enough to carry it for protection as well as enjoy it for recreation. She has shot a Walther P22 during one of my trips to the range and she loved it - but said it reminded here of a raygun. I think my next purchase will be a Sig Sauer Mosquito to ease the pain at the register of .40 ammo - so she will definitely enjoy that. She likes the curb appeal of the Mosquito but I know this packs far less than a wallop.
She is deathly afraid of very powerful weapons but shows great courage in wanting to pursue an activity that I enjoy so that we can spend more time together. I want to find her something that she can feel protected by and enjoy at the range.
Does anyone out there have any advice as to what we should be looking for? I think that she will be open to any caliber as long as the recoil can be controlled/non-existent, but I want something that will provide needed stopping power if the situation lends itself towards that type of resolution.
Let the bombardment of ideas commence.
