What's your idea of a "girl gun?"

Small revolvers are bad a$#, old school, gangster guns! If a snub is a “girl” gun … guess I better … :eek:

Brother, can those movie writers ever get it wrong at times!
 
Girl guns is a term that can make a guy very unpopular with the ladies.
My definition is what they shoot best with, and like to shoot the most.
My experinces have been, the ones that every lady has shot and liked were.
1 Heritige Rough Rider .22 lr, or Ruger Single Six they all love to shoot them probably for the same reasons I do they are just fun plinkers.
2 Colt Python .357 mag 4 inch bbl. every one that has fired this one loves the feel and acuracy of this one. (many have tried to talk me out of it, none have succeded so far)
3 S&W 4906 9mm Currently it resides in my stepmother's gun purse.
4 Ruger MKII (this was my grandma's she was deadly accurate with it) perfect for arthritic hands, and women with osteoperosis)
5 S&W M&P 45 full sized (my sister, stepmom, girlfriend, and several other women love the ergos of it.)
6 Bersa Thunder 9mm UC (my girlfrieds EDC she loves it, I carried the .45 version for 5 years, she shot it and liked it just got the 9mm version for cheaper ammo so she could shoot it a lot more)
7 P64 9mm Makarov (my girlfriend loves this one, and shoots it very well, we have one on order just for her. Mine rides in my front pocket.)
So it all boils down to wether or not she will actualy shoot it. If a woman does not like to shoot, or is otherwise not entusiastic about shooting it realy does not matter it is going to go in her purse or in a safe, or nightstand drawer not to see the light of day very often if ever.
 
The first time I said that to my daughter she promptly informed my "dad you taught me to shoot and that means ANY WEAPON!" My wife just looked at me with the "are you stupid look"

No such thing as a girl gun, at least not in my house, I have to live here!
 
GIRL GUN...................Any gun a the girl wants to shoot.

Ever hear of Kim Dyer??????????? She use to shoot for the AMU, About 100 lbs and stood five foot nothing, one of the Best Hard Ball (45) shooters I ever saw.
 
In general, I think of "girl guns" as being those that are set up for those with small-ish hands like those typical with females.
 
Pink AR's are not girl guns, my wife wouldn't be seen with one!
My girl's choice is a toss up between a P-90 Ruger or a Browning BDM............
 
Girl guns: S&M M&P .45 (mine) Stoeger/Beretta Cougar in 9mm (husband).

Aesthetics? Damascus or beautifully engraved steel and lovely wood grips. Yeah, I know where that's probably going a few years down the road, but I wish the damscus on Caspian's slides was more delicately figured.
 
A 9mm 1911. My wife loves the shootability of my 1911s, but because of the recoil she doesn't like shooting more than a couple of magazines through it. I know that recoil is subjective, but for her the recoil of a .45 Government model is more than she wants to deal with. So I'm thinking about getting her a full-sized 9mm.
 
My wife has a S&W 9mm pistol she has had for years. Can't remember the model number. It is no longer in production. It is small. The issue was finding one she could cycle the slide on, and we could afford. There was a SIG 9mm she wanted, but it was too pricey at the time.

Aside from those hideous "pink" colored guns, I think "girl guns" dont exist. Hell, many men I know own and/or shoot anything from a BB gun to an AR-15.

In essence, its not about caliber. To say otherwise would be far too sexist.

BTW- My woman prefers 9mm and .45ACP...and soon, a 12 ga. shotgun and/or .357 Magnum. None of them are pink.

A most petite woman may have a very large,ugly ,dangerous target to dispose of.

Plenty of big guys flinch shooting .22's or 38's.

What we are really talking about,hand sizes vary.Finger strengths vary.Time,practice,training vary.

I cannot select a thing that will give a person of any size or gender confidence and proficiency.

Better let her be in on it.

There are a lot of women who are LEO's What works for them?,and,BTW,once again I say "Thank God for dangerous women"

In addition to what occured at the New Life Church some years back,another mass killing at Ft Hood was just stopped by a woman with a gun.

Thats the real thing,Bubba.
