One thing we don't discuss a lot in these types of threads is gun maintenance. Which type of gun will she be able to field-strip, clean, lubricate, and reassemble easiest? While most modern semi-autos are easier to maintain than a 1911 or BHP, they are not as simple to clean & lube as a DA revolver. I'm not saying that she can't learn....but I'm asking if she is willing to learn.
This is a important reason I still recommend DA revolvers to new shooters over semi-autos.

I am always surprised at the folks here that would take the time to describe their favorite choice of gun as a suggestion for someone else to buy, given that that person is not able or interested in learning how to use it safely or legally. And very few of you have offered suggestions about the most important facts the OP gave regarding the presence of little kids in the mix. How in the world would you consider that any gun is the best idea here ? |

Id go with the ruger p95 personally my favorite gun in my collection..its a 9 so it will has suffici ant stopping power. The recoil is very minimal so it can be handled well and sven though it is a full size gun it seems rather light comparex to most handguns..and it is very relkable never had a problem with mine..best thinv of all thougb is this is a cheap gun it can be had new for under 400.plus its a ruger
