Buying a gun for my Daughters Sweet 16

[HHB Guns]

Subject says it all...Need some ideas from you guys. She loves handguns, already took her concealed carry class at 14...lol and she loves to deer hunt. I cant make up my mind what I want to get her. I want to stay under $500. Now give me some good reviews and ideas.

Hey Buddy: How about this one...Get her a S&W .44 Mag...then have her shoot .44 specials in it...She will love it and she can always go to .44 mags for a Saturday night date....

I like the idea...

But, I really would look at the Kahr 9 mm. I have the CM.45 and I love it. Get her the CM.99. I had one of those and it was good...

Glock 19
Good size, good capacity, easy to shoot.

I was thinking hard about that....Tried and true!

How did I know you would say a wheel gun Steve...lol

I have a bad taste in my mouth with Kahr after my P380 went back to the factory 3 times and I had to give it away $200 less than dealer because it just plain sucked...

I know more than one girl who doesn't care for Glock-style vertical ejection on their pistols. Kinda depends on how much attention they pay to their clothing choices for the range. Just something to be mindful of that males don't put at risk and rarely think about. My girlfriend and roommate have both been burned so they stick to side ejects on the theory that it shouldn't be a distraction no matter what they are wearing.

... males... rarely think about... it shouldn't be a distraction no matter what they are wearing.

I'm going to have to disagree with both of the above quoted statements.

Rock Island 1911, there is not one gun better looking than a 1911. But you can't go wrong with the Glock 19. If the prices didn't go up so much I would say the Springfield xDM in 9mm

I second the 1911, I love my ria.
If I may ask, has she indicated any preferences?
