Thanks, guys! The Brady website was interesting.
As far purse carry goes, I always stress the importance of having a gun holstered (I'll probably look for a conceilment system that will work specifically for that). The time to draw could be a problem, too; I know it would take me hours to find anything in there!
The purse-snatching thing is something that I hadn't really considered, but that is a very good point.

I usually carry loaded, but not chambered; I figure that it doesn't take that long to rack the slide. Safety first!

Anyway, I think she needs to be armed & a .380 is the smallest caliber I would consider for self defense. (Also, I think I'd like a new P-11)!
