I think there's a lot to be said for those ergonomic grips.

Slap a set of tritium night sights or a laser on that baby and you're ready to rock and roll.

This one? http://www.tactical-life.com/online/com ... -slim-9mm/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I had not heard of it, but it seems there's a lot to like if you can shoot it well.

Sensitivity to recoil is very personal. I think it has something to do with the way that the grip fits an individual's hand -- though I can't get funding for a scientific study.

I don't blame them for being crabby, given what they have to deal with.

Until they get to know you, they give everyone the "lowest common denominator" treatment.

PSC Range is a membership club in Friendswood. It is on FM 528 a few miles east of state route 35. It is a great facility run by great people. I would apply for membership if it weren't so far to drive.

It has a huge variety of activities, events and classes.

This kind of place is completely unlike a public range where you have goofballs wandering in and some crabby rangemaster telling you what not to do.

Send her to the PSC range women-only shoots, first Saturday of every month.

Please don't get fixated on compact or micro pistols like Kel-Tec and Bersa. They have poor sights, pack a nasty kick, and are hard to control. I have one, and learned to use it, but it is not a piece to get started with.

Women can pack surprisingly large handguns well (and surprise is a valuable advantage).
