Well we tried a S&W 317LS. It was light (hell I might buy one), point of aim was good, shot well. My fiance liked it and I was impressed. We're going to try a 22 mag before we buy, but she was happy and I am confident (weight wise) that she will carry it well. That was the main point to this whole thing. First that I could get her a gun that was light and not a pain to lug around (I lug the G29 or Kimber Sub) which aren't too bad, but for my fiance she would be leaving it in the car. I know, what you are all thinking, but I would rather put the extra time into it and know that she will carry it. She is actually a good shot, a lot better than myself when I started out. The .22 may not be the knock down most are looking for, but that is why we will try the .22 mag first to just see if I can get her to carry a little more umph!!! Thanks for all the info and input:)
