When a woman asks for a gun recommendation, the advice I usually give is "choose the largest gun you're comfortable holding."

They won't know unless they try many diferent ones. Where legal, rentals are available......or try a friend's.

An excellent question. In that case I would likely try and keep the conversation steered towards the safety aspect, keeping it properly secured, don't clean it while it's loaded(it would certainly make a mess if I went off during cleaning), that sort of thing.

I would also remind her never to judge a person based on the size of their weapon, as proper handling is far more important.

With those actively engaged, most men purport to having much experience, knowledge, and ability; while most women keep there mouth closed unless there is a positive benefit to doing otherwise.
