I was talking with my mother today about why I bought a gun, I was prepared for a fight to defend my purchase, instead I hear "I should probably carry a gun". She is a Realtor and often has to be out alone in the country at night. She is 60+ and not a very strong woman. I told her I would research pistols for her and give her a recommendation. I usually hang out at rugerforum.com and right now all they can talk about in the semi-auto forum is the LCP so .380 immediately sprang to mind for my mom.
Here's the relevant info
She's an older lady, not very strong.
I don't think she's ever fired a gun in her life, but I could be wrong. She said she would get trained and use to a gun before she CC with it.
She dresses very feminine and very classy.
She deals with a large variety of people and it's important that it is concealed, because you never know who would decide to buy a house from someone else because she was carrying.
I'm thinking .380 would be the best for her. I don't want to get a lot of comments about how it's not the best for defense. Trust me when my wife and I get our CCW it will be .357's or 45ACP. I just don't think my mother could handle those. I just want to know what the best .380 out there is. Price isn't really a problem, she has the money. After a little research I was thinking a SIG P232? Any other ideas?
