Working on my lady to start carrying eventually. She is only comfortable currently with shooting .22lr so her first purchase will be sr22 most likely. I figure 10 rounds of .22lr is better than a pointy stick or a heavy purse. Eventually I'm going to force her to move up to a .380....probably a bersa thunder .380.
I kinda like the idea of having her carry a 22lr. Not my first choice in a defensive round but... its better than mace.
