cant go wrong with a glock 9mm, if you want a gun you KNOW will fire no matter what, then get a glock, fired about 500 rounds through my .40 cal without one jam, picked up a sig mosquito .22 cal and it jammed on the 3rd shot. do yourself a favor and know when you **** that gun it will fire. get a glock

I am an Licensed gun dealer. It will greatly depend on what she is comfortable with. A light weight firearm that will fit in her purse is a plus. My wife carries a glock 19, and a kel-tec 32. She loves both of them. She always has immediate access to a glock 23 at work or at home. Training and understanding of how they work is extremely important and will give a lady a much better feel and confidence to use it. I 99% of the time convince a lady to buy a revolver. 38 special personal defense rounds that are 110 grains are great. They don't kick much and will do the job. They will not jam and are going to fire once the trigger is pulled. Most women do not go out an practice, therefor automatics are less desirable. My wife practices often and is very adapt at shooting and combat reloading.

I am in Georgia and only deal in used guns. I don't have either of those for sale. Price on glocks... Well dealer cost is around 440 to 450 on those models unless you get night sights or extras. Dealers usually want to make 50 to 100 on new guns. So 500 for a new one is fair. Used ones sell for around 50 bucks less than new ones. At least for my shop any way.
