She is in NB, not too many dealers close by :/

Oh, bad luck there!!

Something slim and ###y like a Beretta 87t.

Show her some pics and see what she thinks about it.

They go for around 800 new.

STI Trojan from Armco is $1149, can't really go wrong with a good 1911 (even in 40)

My girlfriend has an MP&P 9. Fits her like a glove with medium backstrap. She likes it alot.

One of the few pistols she actually did find at a dealer close by she could put her hands on---she really liked the feel of it.. All in all, she still prefers the STI over anything else I showed her.

The Sigs are not very forgiving of sloppy trigger pull.

This idea stems from what exactly?

1.I Taught many people with smaller hands with My Hk P2000, it is a very nice shooter also i was quite impressed, and also has interchangable backstraps.

2.If her hands are not overly small then i would suggest the Sig P229, the added weight with 40 will be nice for her to learn with ( if she is not already a pro!)

3.To save cost tho and still get a comfortable shooting pistol the S&W MP40.

Springfield XD9 has a really nice feel and weight balance and is well under the budget at around $650 to $750, but not shiny at all. The shiny requirement rules out most composite pistols too.
I have seen more than one woman shoot a HK USP quite well and they have the shiny slides on some models-- that might do the trick.
Hand her a Smith and Wesson 686 in 357 just for shock value at its weight (can't get much shinier than that)

Well, obviously a Lady of refined taste. 'Sides since most folks see a 1911 and ASSume it's a 45, she'd probably open some eyes at the range if she shoots the 40 quickly

I am proud my brother finally picked up a chick who does not complain when he spends over a grand on a python. a REAL keeper
