Female friend of mind has owned a revolver for awhile and now would like a semi auto. She has asked me about a fullsize M&P9 a shield which she doesn't like, M&P9 compact and the M&P 22lr. I told her the 22lr would be most economical because of the cost of ammo but I'm worried she gets bored with it because it doesn't have the recoil and bang. She says she likes the way a 9mm shoots but likes the cost of 22lr. Says she doesn't want to buy something she's gonna regret. I think the fullsize maybe too much for her cause she says she's shot one and its hard for her to rack the slide/lock unlock it and to hold sometimes. I suggested the compact 9mm or possibly a compact XD.
Any advice on this one?
