So I have a female friend who was anti-gun, she now is seriously considering buying a handgun for home defense. She wants it to be "pretty and girly if possible and under 600$", what do you guys recommend?
>>33212272
>pretty and girly
I recommend you tell her that aesthetics are for idiots and choose whatever she shoots well. Glock brand glock 17 or 19 is never a bad option for a newbie. Barbie doll "pretty" guns are for idiots who want to get killed.
Pink 10/22
>>33212272
A purple bersa because fuck it
>>33212272
g43
tell her its a tool not a toy.
>she owns a pink/purple dildo
>>33212272
any funtional gun and a can of rustoleum
Fns-9c in FDE.
Or that 43. That's nice looking.
Eqsy.
A pink m&p shield.
Are you on the S P E C T R U M?
>>33212346
Or a Remington and a can of oleum
Set her straight before she buys a tiny light 357 snub or 9mm sub compact semi auto thinking it's small and cute but will never shoot because it's unpleasant and they suck with it.
>>33212272
FNS with pink baseplate extenders

if she's never gonna carry it, some full-size 9mm or steel compact. sub-coms and pocket guns are shitty for the inexperienced. get some pink skateboard griptape from ccs or active.com and apply it for her.
>protip: briefly take a bic lighter or heatgun to the tape to make application a little easier
also this >>33212341
its a fucking tool
>>33212379
Get out Jim
>>33212313
Not a rifle.
Sig p238 with pink grips.
>>33212272
Hand her a gun you think she can handle and tell her it's a tool, not a toy. Unless she's open carrying, it has no need to be pretty, and even then, a pink gun is fucking tacky and OC is fucking dumb.
>>33212272
>was anti-gun
What changed? I agree with the other Anons in guns are tools and ergonomics should trump aesthetics. Used PD trade ins are a good bet.
>>33212272
was she raep'd? did she break up with Chad? Tyrone? why did she flip from anti to not-anti all of a sudden? did you act smug? does she give the succ?
I have so many questions.
>>33212618
>>33212619
fukkin hive mind.
Op here. I agree about choosing looks over function is retarded and I can convince her about some stuff but I know it would sway her as far as brand and model.
>>33212346
>>33212383
>>33212500
She won't accept a spray painted item, I mean seriously, she is obviously about looks.
>>33212500
>>33212384
I agree about it needing to be something she can enjoy at the range and being full size if she won't carry it.
>>33212649
The old 3rd Gen Smith and Wessons had a certain nice aesthetic to them. Stainless steel Berettas. 2 tone Sigs. But as pointed out by others, she needs to be able to use it effectively first. Cheers for helping her.
>>33212619
>>33212618
Just talking to her about it and questions about why she towed the anti-gun line. She is still liberal about most things, but is more willing to actually look at topics and wonder why.
>>33212684
I was looking at a glock or m&p and just do after market grips and such.
>>33212649
grip tape isn't spray paint. its functional and comes in any color a skater wants and many that few do, like pink.
I'm guessing you know that a custom cerakote job is gonna be pricey, so unless she wants some gimmicky bullshit, she's gonna be limited to a few color framed Bersas, a couple Walthers, and the EAA Witness Pavona
>>33212762
Grip tape looks like crap.
>>33212849
>I cant into basic arts and crafts or design
>>33212883
Truth, I know I will fuck it up. In fact show me an example of it done right by a layman.
>>33212883
This looks bad, I know it won't please her.
>>33212272
tell her what she really needs is a good man around the house and fuck her right in the pussy you faggot
Spray paint is cheap, do if yourself moron
>>33212272
Tell the bitch to cough up extra for a high quality SIG

>>33212272
you're a piece of shit being used as a research tool you save her time if you're unironically trying to help her find a gun. she has you completely under her control and you don't even care because you're too fucking horny and stupid to care
>>33213185
Yay, drunk posting!
>>33213138
I do that already.
>>33213168
You haven't paid attention.
>>33213185
I'm pretty sure I'm just fucking around on the net, asking an opinion to save me some time. Without my assistance she might remain no-guns (one less ally).
>>33212272
Take her to the range to finger fuck guns.
Beretta are sexy but IMO trigger suck.
They sure as fuck sexy....with their naughty exposed barrel...that firm grip...
>>33213529
No ranges near us that let you rent guns to try. Beretta might be okay.
girly, but tastelful imo
>>33212272
>female friend
Just say it's your mom, we don't mind.
>>33212272
>Everyone ITT has fallen for the "I have a female friend" gag
OP it's OK if you want a pretty pistol.
>>33215966
I fuckin love tiffany blue finish. Thinking of getting either an LC9 in that color, or a Glock 43
>>33212289
I dont know about that glock 17 and 19 grips are pretty thick. Some girls can't get a good grip. If she's got small girly hands think single stack.
>>33212272
That Walther .380 is remarkably under appreciated for easing a girly chick into shooting. A small child can work the slide and it's in pink. It doesn't really feel any different from a poly 9mm when you're shooting HD loads but the rest of the time it's like 38s out of a service revolver.
>>33212272
tell her to get her head out of her ass, first and foremost. Its a tool, not another fashion accessory. You cont see guys going into a hardware store looking for a power tool that "looks badass" you pick the right tool for the job.
Since shes a former anti gun wanting to change shes probably not going to bother with practicing or looking into laws, and thinks she should just buy it and throw it on a shelf until she needs it. tell her to look into your local laws first, handle a few guns at range or store and practice with whats comfortable.
If she wants something pretty she can customize it later or look at guns with colored frames but asthetics should be the last thing on the list for a first time gun buy
>>33212379
It's cute af tho
>>33213185
i agree op found a new way to get cucked
>>33212272
what could be cuter than a Glock 26?
Rainbow side p238/938 but they have higher recoil.
Something like >>33215966 also looks nice, but it's better if slide is stainless or shiny.
SW makes 637 with pink grips that looks very cute as well.
>>33212379
she's pseudocucking you
>>33212529
Pink 10/22 charger
Beretta Nano w/ pink frame.
>>33212379
It actually is quite cute.
Here you go. I know it's a Taurus, but i have heard pretty fantastic things about it.
>>33212272
>Any functional gun that you can change out the grips, then buy girly grips.
>Any functional gun and a can of spray paint.
>Any functional gun and a cerakote job.
>Any functional gun with colored grip tape.
>Any functional pink shotgun.
Just make sure it's at least a defensive caliber (read: .380 and up) and preferably a full size if you are going for a handgun.
Off the top of my head I know Bursa Thunder has girly options available.
640 pro, 442 pro, DAO SP101, or LCR.
Put some pretty grips on it.
>>33217737
Why DA, it sucks so much compared to SA?
>>33218256
No confusion. Thing that goes round holds the bullets. Lever on side opens the thing that goes round. Trigger makes it go bang.
>>33212272
sig p238 with changed out grips. 380 is a 'real' caliber, it's subsonic so it's great home defense and she won't pop her ear drums because she forgets earpro when she's robbed :P, and it's concealable. If you get SAO she can learn that as long as the hammer is down it WON'T shoot (which feels safer), and it's like $550.
>>33213178
>micro compact
that shit's not even good for intimidation in the hands of the average female. She'll be shooting the ground 10 feet in front of the target all day, with that kick and her shitty shooting skills.
Lets be honest here, op is a faggot trap wanabee and wants a faggy gun for himself
>>33212383
I got the joke.
