Hello and welcome. It is good that women are here giving their perspective. Ask any question you like even if you believe it to be stupid. It is better to ask than try it yourself and risk getting hurt. There are experts in every field and how do you think they became experts. They used trial and error, risking getting hurt or worse. They also asked questions of those who did use trial and error. With the advances in the shooting field coming so quickly I don't believe any one person can know everything about the subject. Maybe together we can get somewhere close. Like others here I have been shooting for more than 1/2 my life, am a law enforcement firearms instructor, am a trained Beretta armorer, and I don't consider myself an expert just a slightly advanced student. So ask away and join in when you can, you may have a piece of the puzzle that someone else needs.
