I've been contemplating what the best gun would be to get my girlfriend for about three weeks. Here are some preferences. She wants it to have a manual safety, she wants to be able to carry it so concealable/compact, im think preferably 9mm but .380 isn't out of the picture, and I'd like it to be a bit heavier so maybe a metal frame for easier shooting. Shes new to shooting but enjoys pistols the most. We have a Ruger SR 22 that she really enjoys and she also enjoys shooting the beretta 92. I had her shoot my dads glock 19x and sig p365, and she didn't like either of them, too snappy/muzzle flip.
I think she would get used to them with more practice but I don't want to start her off with something unpleasant.
Two polymer framed pistols i have looked at are the Taurus g3c with a safety, and the shield plus with a safety.
Two metal framed pistols i have looked at are the Tanfoglio compact c9, and the new csx 9 from Smith and wesson.
I'd be curious as to what you guys would recommend considering the parameters or what you guys have purchased for your ladies. I also want to keep it under $600 if possible. Just so I can afford ammo, a holster, and mags.
I haven't considered any revolvers but if you guys want to leave suggestions for those that would be appreciated too.
