I'm looking to purchase a a carry pistol for my girlfriend. We already tried a S&W bodyguard 380 auto, and she didn't like it. (hurt her hand when shooting it.) So I'm here asking my fellow INGOers for some recommendations on a pistol for my girl to CC with. Not looking for anything stronger than a 9mm.

Thanks in advance!

My Wife loves her Walther PK 380. I liked it so much I bought one too,lol

Honestly, I'd at least let her handle a lot of them is a shop or rent. I've picked two for my wife, a 380 PPK, and a GLOCK 17, and she did not really like either. PPK was too "wuss" for her and the 17 did not fit her hand right.

As soon as i can find one in stock she will be getting a S&W 351PD

Possibly a Beretta tomcat in .32. I know its not exactly a large caliber but very little kick and when you shoot it and no slide racking. Just pop up the barrel.

Maybe you should look at this from a different angle.

Ever think about finding a girlfriend to fit your gun?

Beretta Nano

My wife loves to shoot my Ruger SR9c but it is to large for her to carry so last weekend we purchased her a new Beretta Nano. She loves it and shoots it very well. Very accurate from 5 to 10 yards.

Pk380 or PPS 9mm. We bought both and like both. The 380 has little recoil and since the barrel is a little longer than most 380s (most pocket 380s) I would assume a little more muzzle velocity.

All that being said, I'd eventually like to get a 357 revolver for my wife but use 38 or maybe 38+P. depends on how it shoots.

Like many here have said, find one that fits her hand and go from there.
