My advice....

Try lots of different guns at a range which rents firearms.
But don't waste your time and money on the smaller calibers (like .22, .25, ect...) stick with the more effective calibers (.38 special, 9mm, etc....).
Take comfort in the fact that women all over the world use handguns effectively everyday.
They are no better and no stronger than you.
There exist NO caliber that you cannot master with enough practice and training.
Some are easier than others, but there's no need to settle for a weak and ineffective caliber.

Personally, I recommend a Glock G19 9mm.
Keep it chambered and ready to rock.

Or a .38 special revolver, if you're willing to strengthen your fingers and hands to handle the heavy double-action trigger.

Good luck,
Easy
