    Why not a revolver? Should be able to find a quality used one cheap, and reliability would not be likely be an issue.

    How about a Makarov? It seems to be a popular choice with the lady shooters from what I've heard. My friend got one and his wife took it.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    I should have been more specific I wasn't really looking for firearm suggestions I was looking for leads on one anywhere here in MD. Time is running out (oct 1 fast approaching) and she'd like to get a 9mm for under $500.

    Didn't know what the IPs had in stock or if there were any used ones around.

    The USP is a good suggestion but she doesn't like the mag release.

    And yeah Norton I was eyeballing that S&W in the classifieds too.

    Keep em coming! Much appreciate it!

    Call Lou at shooters discount! Was just there friday I think it was and he had some nice used 9mm's under $500. I picked up a nice used px4 storm in .40 while I was there.

    I love my Ruger p95, but it will likely be too fat for most women's hands.
    if she is familiar with glocks then you may want to consider the ruger sr9 or sr9c - slimmer grip and glock style safety.

    goes for around 375-400


    then add a replacement trigger connector

    I was thinking about the SR9 but I dont like manual safetys, obtrusive loaded chamber indicators, or magazine disconnects. Still it is reliable and a nice shooter I am still considering it.

    I mentioned a used Kahr 9 earlier. If her hands can handle it, definitely check if Lou has a used Glock 19.

    Will do thanks!
