There is only one pistol I consider foolproof enough for a Woman..a snubby wheelgun. Ruger came out with an extreamly light model in 5 shot .38. No safety to be confused about. No racking of anything. If you get a hand on it and squeeze it will fire. Weight is an issue..many Police carry a pistol for 20 years and never fire it on duty. Hopefully Citizens will never have to either but if it's light and compact you are more likely to take it with.
A semi auto in inexperienced hands is a very poor choice. too many things to think about when the shilt hits the fan. My carry gun is a Colt Cobra..and I shoot much more often than most people. Just the same..I want a positive no hassle pick it up and shoot gun.

Good advice for us all seen in the above posts and a personal defense weapon is a choice..just make the right choice. In a life or death confrontation you do not want to be looking down at your pistol wondering why it didn't fire.
