Will's advice in gun ownership and the priority of types of weapons to own is excellent. My only additional thought is that for many women who might place a firearm in their purses, I would recommend a hammerless revolver. Hammerless so the hammer will not get caught on sometime when you are pulling the weapon from the purse thus losing time getting it untangled (or worse). A revolver because it is simpler to use.
I would go a step further and tell women to carry the gun on their body if possible, instead of in the purse (just my personal preference) In a dire situation, fumbling through your purse wastes precious moments. Also, what if the attacker grabs your purse? The chance of that gun being used against you could really increase. Even if he just runs with it there is now another stolen gun on the streets. Carrying the gun also makes it a more natural extension of your body and makes me more confident becaus I'm not constantly checking my purse to make sure everything is where it should be.
Also a good idea from Jim, however, revolvers have many limitations. If a woman (or man) is going to carry, they NEED to be trained, and practice, practice, practice, or they can be just as dangerous to themselves or others around. If they have been properly trained and practice, what type of firearm they carry and how simply it functions won't matter. My wife has been carrying for 4 years now, and prior to meeting me, she had never seen a handgun before. She carries a Springfield XD .45ACP compact, and can outshoot, and reload faster then the majority of my friends. Stick a revolver in her hand though, and it all goes downhill. Proper training and practice…
Yes, I very much agree Brian. Profinciency is the key to handling any type of weapon. I am the girl who never fired a gun until meeting my husband and have found that revolvers leave me fumbling and feeling just a little uncomfortable about everyone's personal safety around me Semi-autos have come so far with their safety features and it makes me a much better handler.
eta: Those are so cool Will! I had never seen one before. If I can find one with rhinstones I may consider converting
