[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 815084, member: 10414"] I hear you, these things are all situational as far as need goes, but the OPs need is stated. I see these situations a lot, where guys try to pick for the women. I offer this advice not as me selection a pistol for a woman but an an observer who has seen man a man go down this path before, trying to steer the decision of the women. Also the point you made about new shooters being "over matched" is spot on, they have to enjoy it. I was luck or unlucky how ever you want to look at it. When my wife became a police officer she was already a hunter and had a general understanding of most firearms, much more than most of her cohorts. She promptly confiscated my gen 3, glock 19 for her own. To address your question of "how much is enough" there is no correct answer for every situation, except that there is no such thing as to much ammunition. I think we have all heard the old wives tail about how the 45. will stop a man with one shot and a 9mm just zips right threw them? I know I have, well what that really comes down to is shot placement. A pistol is just so much harder to master than a rifle and once a base level of training is established it takes constant up keep to maintain it. Add the stress of a violent confrontation to either firearm and the mind shuts down and reverts to what it was trained, if it was trained wrong or has not been trained to the point that it fights threw the mental block you will not stand a chance in hell of coming out on top. Important to note is as a "civilian" we all have a duty to retreat unless our lives or the lives of others at on the line. You have to ask yourself in that critical moment "is some one going to die" if the answer is yes you cannot hesitate and you cannot ever take it back. [/QUOTE]
