What style is she looking for?  Caliber preference?

My wife likes revolvers, she has trouble racking the slide on a semi. Her favorite is my model 10 S&W (it's also one of mine) but I don't think they come in pink. At least I hope not it would be a shame to deface a classic in pink.

Why do women need guns? They can't use those in a kitchen.....

I got a SR22 in lilac so my GF can go with me shooting. Nice little gun, even I enjoy shooting it.

My girlfriend has small hands, and she took a liking to the Browning Hi-Power.

My GF has a Sig 229 with the SRT and rrt and e2 grips. Fitsbher very well. She is small of stature weight and hand size

First, you should be asking her what she likes, not a bunch of people on the inter-webs.

 

Second, you should get the idea of "Girl guns" out of your mind. If you approach this as "these are guns for girls and these are guns for guys" you are automatically eliminating a large chunk of options because you are mentally/subconsciously tallying them in the "not for girls" category. She may absolutely love a 1911/Glock/.44/BHP/92FS/M&P etc... but she may never know because you didn't consider any of those a "girl's" gun.

 

Let her shoot everything she can get her hands on and pick what feels best for her. If done correctly this should be a very time consuming and expensive process but in the end she will get what actually works for her - not what you, or anyone else, thinks she should get.

What I did was give her a price range for her first gun, recommended a caliber she knew she could fire, dragged her down to the lgs and let her fondle a bunch... She has bad metacarpal syndrome sometimes, plus we must prepare for the fact that she may end up like her mom and end up with arthritis in her hands. She also tried a lot of guns I have. She has trouble racking slides on my 1911... Little trouble with my HKs...

She doesn't want a revolver so...

She ended up getting a 9mm Beretta PX4 Storm Compact. She picked it. She loves it.

 

If you already have a nice selection of handguns, let her fondle them to see what she thinks she wants. Then do what I did. Hell, with the ranges renting a nice plethora of guns these days, try before you buy. As for color, cerakoting can be done in pink on just about any gun...

 

This is the only right and fair way IMHO...

The same question was just asked on Facebook - in 'NJ Guns For Sale'.  My comments there are the same for here (copied from FB)

 

Ruger has several different colors, including pink, for their LCP and LC9. I, for one, would never buy one...they look too much like a child's water pistol. Take a look at the Ruger web page under 'dealer exclusives'...

 

If you have little kids in the house, you DONT want one of the pink or lavender Rugers....they look too too toy-like and I can see nothing good coming from that combination.

S&W 500 + Pink Spraypaint

Easy...

^^^^^^^^^^^^  Did you steel that from a drag Queen ?

 

If anyone see's my .50 could you leave it the front desk ?

I was thinking the same thing

I bought my wife an M&P shield 9mm, racking the slide is a little hard for her.

We have these....................

She doesn't care about most things gun guys look for in a gun. She wants a gun that's "cute". My buddy bought that pink sig .22 for his wife and said he was having issues. I'm gonna find out what they were today. She likes my 229 and says if someone breaks in that's what she grabbing. So this will be a target practice pistol mostly. Gonna try and get her in a 9mm or .38. I'd like her to get a carry permit. We spend a lot of time in Delaware and they have wonderful gun laws.

She wants a pink gun. So yeah, a girl gun

I am a girl and my favorite "girl" guns cover the gamut- Sig SP2022 (9 mm), ruger 22/45, STI Spartan (.45). Next on my list - a .357 revolver. (FWIW - my preteen, petite daughter took a NRA First Steps Pistol course at GFH and her favorite was the .357 revolver.)

You could just get here a black gun and add pink grips and that should add

enough girly factor to make her happy - no?

Maybe a cowgirl gun

 

I tried telling her that. It's quite nerve racking. But what can I really complain about. I buy whatever guns I want. She now wants a gun and got her permit. If she ants a pink gun I'll order her a pink gun.

She is leaning towards this

My wife likes to shoot my beretta nano, because of the small grip. It can be found with a pink frame or one can be ordered from beretta for around $35. The frame (cover) is not serialized so you you can essientially have it as a his and hers as needed. 9mm , easy to conceal and shoots sweet. My two cents.

I actually already have a beretta nano

Glock 19, you can buy pink thingies as extras. Wife shot a bunch  of 9's and a revolver or three--didn't care for the revo trigger pulls-and .22s. Liked the Glock best and also wanted a .22.

I told her to check out the Glock girl page

You could go wit ha Walther PK380 in pink - Good Gun for a first time shooter..................

 

It's not pink, and it's not a "girl gun", but my wife loves our Glock 19 gen 4. I thought it might be too big for her hands but it fits her like a glove and she shoots it's well.

"Cute" has a lot of kick sometimes. My wife loves the ruger gp 100 in 357. She uses 38 spec in it with little kick. It really absorbs everything and is easy to load and maintain. Don't let the looks scare her until she try's one.
