V wants to buy a gun
She has experience with shotguns and went to an all day class on hunter training and education. It was suggested to us that on a long trip like ES, it would be a good idea to pack one. Need something lightweight and with a clip, that will stop a would be attacker dead in his or her tracks. any suggestions?, she's not afraid to use it!

"magazine"
Guns are still allowed in Kalifornia?  Take her to the Gun Store and let her look around. Kimber is making lightweight carry guns in designer colors, designed to match ladies purses....

SW Airweight J-Frame with the semi-concealed hammer.
Pros: very light, very small, no worries about firing, fits tight to body. Cons: 5 rounds, long stiff pull SA XD .40 subcompact Pros: light pull, no flip, very accurate, light pull, easy to field strip with no tools, 9 rounds, trigger safety, grip safety, cocked indicator, round loaded indicator Cons: bulky, heavier than J-Frame I handled HighMiles' Bersa 380 last weekend.... liked it... light, single stack (thinner than XD)... Jim swears by its reliability... and $259.00...!!!  KelTec just seems too toylike to me... and there is the reliability thing... not sold on it.

First, take her to the biggest gunshop you can find. Find what fits her hand best. Take no money, credit/debit cards, checkbooks or negotiable securities with you.
We'll wait here.

But of course.
To serve is to live. P.S. That friend of hers knows her stuff, BTW...

 I still prefer my rosewood grips...  I agree w/Mega - let her find something that fits her hand well. Then you may want to take her out to a range and rent a couple different caliber guns to see what she's comfortable with. If V wants to talk to me, I'd be happy to give her a call, seeing as I'm a girl and she's a girl and I've picked a lot of brains and been doing a lot of research on different guns recently. Just PM me her # if you'd like.
