I have a female friend who is 5'4" and barely over 100 pounds. Anyway, she shot a Ruger MK III, XD 9, Sig, and some wheelies (actually pretty good shot, which I imagine is the listening thing she does so much better). After that we entered the gun shop and I had her handle a 1911 because she expressed wanted something slimmer (small hands). She really liked the grip size but preferred the commander slide for balance. She can't conceal carry in California where she's going but she can keep it in her house.
So my question is does such an animal exist? I have found Springfield sells the loaded in 9mm but only in government size. I would like to keep the price around $600 as I offered to buy her a first gun.
The 9 she thought was pretty loud but it didn't affect her shooting. No flinching so I was thinking a steel 1911 would soak up the 9mm while providing a viable defensive caliber. As opposed to 22 which she liked the best but she shot the 9mm just as well and thinks she can handle it (and so do I).
Thanks!
