So my girlfriend got her first firearm (bolt action .22 rifle) last year and she really loves going to the range with me. She has decided she wants a handgun this go around. It would be mostly for recreational use although having a firearm in her apartment does make her feel a little safer.
I admit I am not much of a handgun gun. My only handgun was gifted to me from my grandfather, it's a S&W659. I took her out, showed her how to use it, she took one shot and said no thank you to the recoil. So the 9mm is out and she is leaning towards a .22.
I think she should get whatever makes her happy, but what other calibers/firearms should she consider? She is leaning towards a semi auto and she was able to work the slide on mine perfectly fine.
To top it off, she wants it to be pink
