My wife loves her Springfield XD 9mm. Her first gun was a Sig 229 but she didn't like the long trigger pull. She was a sceptic at first, but now she would not be caught without her gun:exclaim:

I've always been told that for beginners, especially girls, avoid revolvers and small guns. Typically I hear the Glock 19 advised as a good first gun. Large gun and small caliber = easy to shoot, easy to be accurate and therefore easier to impress newbies and make them keep their interest.

I'm not a big fan of the Glock, for a number of reasons, and I don't think it would be well-suited to her...

But I like the "big gun/small caliber" idea. That makes a LOT of sense.

Maybe this would be a good excuse to get a Browning HiPower (1911 size and weight, 9mm cartridge.)

I've been wanting one of those for a long time...;)
