    this entirely depends on the woman, some have a sense for these things and do their own research, some defer to their husband's wisdom on the subject, which is in itself a kind of wisdom. much more preferable to going back to the gun shop multiple times because she either chose a full size beretta or a tiny snub nose for her first gun and regretted it after taking it to the range
    i'm talking in general so the ones that do research are in minority. there are threads here that ask "what guns to buy or best handgun for their wife" in ladies forum and handgun section. the best advice are given by the ladies themselves and husbands who learned from their mistakes which is "take them to lgs and have them pick their own."

    my wife was losing interest fast when i bought her snub nose for her first handgun then glock 19 second. i was glad i had a good sense to take her to an lgs and have her pick her own. she fell in love with sig mk-25 after handling it. she now enjoys every trip to the range. she also added sig combat model and couple of sub-compact models in her jewelry box.

      I have been married 34 years to the same woman.

      She likes to shoot but is very self conscious about shooting and learning new skills in front of others. She is an excellent shot with both rifle and shotgun, not entirely comfortable with a pistol as she did not grow up with them in the home.

      On more than one occasion she has broken out in tears. It's just one of the ways she expresses herself.

        1. Treat all guns as if loaded (even when you know they aren't).
        2. Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy.
        3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
        4. Know your target and what is beyond it (avoid all collateral damage).

                  I have a feeling this guy knew well in advance that she was going to react this way. Some dudes have a tendency to push their wives/girlfriends/mistresses into uncomfrotable situations anyway, which is probably not the best course of action.
