Concealed carry hand gun for a woman

The small 380's like the lcp are good for concealing in a pocket but they aren't very accurate and need a lot of breaking in to be reliable. If your keeping it in the purse, size shouldn't really be an issue, you should get a full size gun. Try renting the M&P or a ruger SR9 or a glock and see what you like. A lot of people like XD's but I thought it felt weird in my hand.
You guys remember that texas biker shootout recently? guess what the first handgun in a picture is next to a spilled bike? The JUDGE, apparently he wasn't using those hornady rounds lmao!

We have an 11 year old that has friends and cousins. Decided against a revolver because it's just too easy for a child to grab the gun and pull the trigger. Having to turn the safety off to chamber a round makes it that much harder for an accident.
Thanks for caring about proper gun safety
Kids get their hands on them way too much

Lcp w a laser max is a fine handgun.... The safety is supposed to be the half mile of trigger....they have a slot to view if a round is chambered

Not accurate for more than five feet and there's not much to hang on to tho

The lc9 would be a better choice if its just going in your purse and you're stuck on ruger

IMO how accurate is not a huge issue.
Most people cant hit a moving target with a super accurate gun in a real situation.
Its more about having a gun belching smoke, fire and noise in your general direction that deters further attack

ive never really read into the benifit of a hammerless gun. Why would you want one besides maybe it snagging on clothing as your trying to pull it out?
that's exactly why. You can put them in your pocket purse or what ever, they're small compact and reliable. I know a guy that had an older revolver without a free floating pin. He pulled it out and snagged it and shot himself in the leg. Hammerless with a free floating pin is the way to go. You pull the trigger it goes off.

Why would you have a gun accessible to children?
Assuming you are in the US you may wish to read this:

Second amendment anyone? The atf form has been the same for many decades. What about if I had guns before I got a marijuana card? If that's the case then if you drink you shouldn't be allowed to have a gun either.

I agree , when you have a hammerless weapon , if the spring wears out you no longer have a weapon that will fire. I have seen this happen to many times. I've never seen that happen If it did they would recall the gun and fix it for free.

They have so many good body holsters there is no reason to purse a weapon.
Plus digging in your purse will take longer than you have.
If you aren't gonna get a holster and practice using it you are doing it wrong.

Proper gin safety?!....those kids should never have access to guns!:roll:
I'm sure 420 whom I've known since about 2009 uses proper gun safety
No need to eye roll me and take my comment out and spin for the weekend
420 knew what I meant and I wasn't speaking to you
