Um, I am not sure one is supposed to say things like men are better at hefting heavier weapons .....
While true... and I am so grateful they can.... its kind of telling a woman she is not equal.... which I admit on that I am not. (I want my pedestal back)
Yeah but with the plethora of different guns available nowadays women can be plenty well armed. Women do great things with AR15's because of the light recoil they are easy to shoot well. She wants to hunt? Get her a Remington 700 Youth Rifle in .308 Winchester. Those are super compact light weight rifles that pack a serious punch. I bought bo tmy kids that rifle and they brought home the Elk!
A woman who wants to learn to protect herself and shoot well should take a good hard look (and trial!) of some medium to larger pistols. Stay away from the micro pistols for self defense! Larger pistols are way easier to shoot well than teeny pistols.
But I dont want to carry that big thing...
If you knew that you were going to have trouble, would you rather have with you a bigger gun that you shoot better with than a small gun? Of course!
And if a situation gets out of control to the point that you have to pull a real gun on someone...you want something that is easy to shoot well under stress. Hence, all larger pistols!
