Her intent is to conceal and carry with her, plus take in a car and home defense for when I'm away (basically all around). I'd prefer she got one with more knock down power (like a 40 or 45) but if she isn't comfortable shooting one then there is no point to her having it.

I'm really open to whatever pistol she likes. I just don't think she wants to spend more than $600 which because I'm a gun snob is tough for me. I'd rather spend $1000 and get the best.

Nice.

Good to hear you are open to her getting whatever she is comfortable with. I hear so many men in stores say "you should buy this or this" and not let the women have a chance to speak up. Then they hate it.

Who's to say you have to spend $1000 to get the best? We all know "the best" is very subjective.

I'm confused. My Bersa was cheap and the ammo is expensive, which sucks.
