8 Best Guns for Women Living Alone

>>32752963
for concealed carry or just to have at home?

because there is absolutely no sound excuse to stash a tiny compact pistol at home that you never CC unless absolutely nothing else will do.

i wouldn't recommend any of these per se, i'd recommend the gun that fits in your hand correctly.

even not assaulting her with a knife, he deserved it.

I don't even like the kick of a Springfield 1911 I don't think it's a good choice for a woman. Neither are small 9mm because they are snappy and harder to shoot.

>>32752963
Why not a rifle? They're much easier to use.

>>32752963
Rifle for the home. Compact comfortable pistol for carry. Make shooting it is not a problem. Try out as many guns as you can.

we get it, you watched a youtube video once...

The sr9c and shield are good choices. The less said about farter arms and lel-kek the better, especially the rimfire .22
There is no reason to go with a cheap, hard to handle subcompact for home defense. Nighthawks are also stupidly expensive considering they're small frame 38s. Your list is Ladies' Home Journal tier.

How about
1. S&W 3913LS
2. S&W Ladysmith 3913
3. Smith and Wesson Model 3913 Ladysmith
4. Ladysmith semiauto

Though you could also get 000 buck and have like a dozen 40 caliber pieces of lead

oh god, you're a "you don't have to aim a shotgun" "hallway clearer" faggot...

>>32753498
00 buckshot is .38 just to be clear. People actually believe .223s fragment in drywall after an inch but birdshot will make a new door in the siding, its basically paper mache.

>>32752963
P3AT, LCP are the only guns that belong on that list, and only for CCW.
Glock 17/19, PPQ, VP9, P30/USP, TP9SA, etc. are for home, though rifles are better for HD.

>>32753498
>velocity of projectile doesn't matter in mom's basement
The memes are so real, they gave you the 'tardation.
1 piece of lead moving 3,000 FPS does more damage than the same piece of lead just barely breaking the sound barrier. That's what they call "science."
Sorry your home schooling didn't go very well.

I'd just rather make 40 holes in someone than one, especially if they're at close range. You're the one that seems to think shotguns are weapons of mass destruction that will spread out super quickly and murder half your house.

>>32753563
Glock 43, LC9S, Walther PPS are decent.
Shield 9/40 is garbage.

who uses birdshot? shotguns are effective with buckshot or slugs, but blow through walls like the walls are made of tissue paper. varmint bullets are designed to dump their energy with little resistance, yet still penetrate sufficiently on a human

>go up mom and dads to shoot (they own 50 acres in southeast ky)
>Mom wants to shoot it.
>mom loves it.
>I give it to her because my mom has always been awesome.

So my vote would be the Ruger 9e.

>>32753573

Except it's 9 pieces of lead slamming into a focused area instantly, not one. Low recoil buck in a semi auto shotgun doesn't recoil for shit, and you can fling more 12 guage out if you need too pretty rapidly.

>>32753673
this is for women, you forget. many of which have barely enough upper body strength to tear paper. Not everyone has 50 lbs of fat on each arm to help pull a slide down.
>thinks trigger is bad
confirmed for never having shot one

>>32752963
With the possible exception of the Nighthawk, those are all shitty guns. Unfortunately, I do not know of any gun that is good out of the box for less than a very large price. The only way you are going to get a good gun is to buy a stock one and have a gunsmith perform the needed modifications.

>>32753649
my mom would never accept a gift that large. we can both easily afford afford a purchase of that amount, but she'd think I had gone retarded.

>>32753693
the ones I've come across at gun shows have worse SA triggers than a stock Glock. if the slide is that easy to rack, it's because it's using slide mass rather than spring tension. that makes for a fucking tank of a gun. teach the bitch how to properly rack a slide and stop buying crap

I recommend .38 special/.357 magnum revolvers for women generally.

Some women seriously have difficulty racking the slides on some full sized guns, and weak/poor grip can cause feed issues with some guns. I have seen both of these issues with a few women I dated.

I feel a 4 inch .38 revolver's ease of use and generally light recoil are good for most women, and even though it lacks some of the velocity a 9mm can give you, throwing a 145 or 158 gr bullet about 1000 fps ain't no joke.

Then, as ling as you buy one that is .38special/.357 magnum, the user, if she feels comfortable with the recoil, can even up her load to a .357. The fact the shooter can practice with cheaper .38s and then load .357 for home defense is nice as well.

If we are talking long arms, even though they are rough for many women to handle I think a 18in barreled 12 gauge is still the best load. I like my first few rounds to be no4 buck, to held reduce chances of over penetration compared to 00.

>>32752963
>Hey lady, you wanna buy this knife?

Why are you recommending subcompacts?


Why?


Seriously why do people do this?


If you're going to use a handgun for home defense, especially a woman, recommend a full sized pistol with interchangeable back straps that can be tuned to a much smaller person.

Full sized pistols are easier to shoot, rack the slide(extremely important) and have more shots.

When I pushed my GF, mother, and sister for their CCWs I let them use my Ruger SR9 and they all easily qualified, which is funny because my mom and sister can't shoot for shit with their P938s and in my mothers case, she can't actuate the slide reliably anymore.

But HONESLY, why are we even recommending pistols?

A 12, 20, or 16 gauge shotgun is much simpler and easier to use, especially in youth models.

Pistol caliber carbines like the Sig MPX and CZ one are a ton easier to shoot than a pistol and don't require much arm strength at all to load and shoot.


In order of what I personally recommend,


1. A shotgun they understand how to use and can manage, that is also well fitted.

2. A pistol caliber carbine that is simple to use, with a brace of course.

3. A full sized, no nonsense handgun.

Glock 17SF or 19SF comes to mind.


Seriously folks think about it.

Different strokes. I have sent my mom and dad on a cruise before. We grew up lower middle class. Never went hungry, always had a roof over my head but zero luxuries. My mom and dad would always put my sisters and me first. They would go without so we could have stuff. I am by no means rich but I am in a position where I can do things for them. Besides, a gun is not something my mom would buy herself so it was a no brainer to let her have it.

>>32753768
Then you got bubba's beat up POS. I have 1 in mint, as does my 5'0" mexican mother. Both have excellent triggers. They're lighter than my M&P, and the slide is easy as garbage to rack. Especially compared to my shield,

>>32753639
>5.56 doesn't penetrate walls meme

https://youtu.be/AXOIQgfvVlE?t=66

How is it that a higher velocity, heavier projectile penetrates less walls compared to #4 buck?

The whole point of the shotgun for home defense is that it makes up for the relative weakness of its individual projectiles by their sheer volume. This is ideal if you want to maximize stopping power while minimizing penetration.

Ultimately though, anything but birdshot is going to go through at least one wall, so regardless of what you're shooting you need to be aware of what's in the next room.

>>32753770
Most womens I know can't handle pump guns, an m4gery would be the best choice for a long gun IMHO.

>>32752963
20 Gauge shotgun with 00 buck or an AR15

handguns are shit for home defense and shit at stopping threats in general

this idea of handguns as home defense guns needs to stop, its going to get people killed

>>32752963
This list is garbage.

>>32753818
>20 Gauge

Usually the reduction in weight of a 20 gauge gun compared to a 12 gauge means that they recoil almost the same.

Just get low recoil loads for a 12 gauge

the recoil is similar, but the guns are lighter, which is the point.

But this is on my wall

>>32753852
Why though? It's not like they're barbells, or that they're going to have to hold them out with their arms straight for hours at a time. The recoil is what hurts and makes them not want to shoot anymore.

>>32753806
>arguing about whether varmint bullets break up on walls

>>32753873
go make Mexico great again, or go support the US from Mexico. either way, you're on the wrong side of the wall.

>>32753639
My point was even birdshot can go through 3 interior walls and into siding. 223 can go straight through all of it without losing a lethal amount of energy, soft point or not. If you hit your target thats great but misses with a rifle will absolutely exit your home and kill anything outside. So will buckshot of course. I don't know who started telling everyone 223 jhp disintegrated in sheetrock but it's nonsense.

>>32752963
replace with GAU-8/A Avenger

Remington 1100 Tactical.
