She has probably never shot a gun before in her life. I don't want anything high-end or extreme. What is a good hand gun to get for her? Something not very expensive but would get the job done. Thanks in advance.

A lightweight 9 mm or .380 handgun or as I taught my wife a 12 gauge shotgun with 00'buck. Whatever you get make sure she gets full instruction on use and safety and gets multiple sessions on shooting at targets no farther than 25 feet. Also periodic refresher programs are essential!She has probably never shot a gun before in her life. I don't want anything high-end or extreme. What is a good hand gun to get for her?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I really appreciate it. She will absolutely go through the proper training. Will go with some version of a 9mm.
Forget pistols. A complete waste of money and effort. 1) "youth" 20ga. pump shotgun; cut the barrel down to 18"; saw off the stock behind the grip. Just the sound alone of a pump being racked is normally enough to make a bad person crap their pants. 2) Taurus Judge pistol that'll fire either .45 / .4570 cal or .410ga shotgun cartridges. Load up with No. 1 Buckshot. You might pick either up at a pawn shop for cheap; you just want something that fires not looks good or has some special junk feature like "laser sights" that will never be used in a hurry. The absolute simpler the better.She has probably never shot a gun before in her life. I don't want anything high-end or extreme. What is a good hand gun to get for her?

Save your money and realize that we don't live in a war zone. Absolutely no need for a gun for personal protection unless, of course, you wear tin foil on your head and think the government is out to get ya!!!!!!!!!She has probably never shot a gun before in her life.

Guns are like an insurance policy. You hope that you go through life and never need it. If you do, it is kind of idiotic not to have it because of political ideology or being naïve about the real world.Save your money and realize that we don't live in a war zone.

All I have is my own life experience. I have never held a gun, and I have never needed one EVER. I believe the statistics will back my life experience up. I understand the NRA and fear mongers want everyone to see EVERY bad story out there, but it just is not the norm in the vast majority of society...That said, I am all for the second amendment...If you want to waste your money, have at it...how are things in disneyland ?
Reading the news is the problem...They sensationalize to get you to keep reading. Those stories are the vast exception and not the rule...Not happening. In the world we live in today, I want my wife to feel safe. Read the news. Shoot I hope she never has to use the thing once after she learns at the range. I hope it's the biggest waste of money ever. Believe me, I'm not a tin foil hat guy but I don't live under a rock either.

go to a local gun store w a range. They will let you shoot different pistols. Most professionals will tell you the best choice for someone who is going to only shoot occasionally and wants a reliable self defense weapon should use a revolver. Judt point your finger and squeeze the trigger. A shotgun is great for the home, but first have your wife fire one w a cut down stock.., it's not recoil friendly. Any gun you decide on you should get training and enough range time to feel confident using it. We are heading out this am to put a few hundred down range. Practicing concealed draws. Good luck.
