Looking to spend in the $300 range. The catch is, it has to be pretty and YELLOW

If this is for your wife, you need to explain to her that she may have to make some compromises. What's more important, her life, or her gun looking pretty when she takes it out?

And why do guys insist on getting women a 380? I think a 9mm has less recoil than a 380 does. The only real advantage for 380 is that it crosses the line into the realm of pocket pistol.

I have a Kahr CM9 and it's one of the best firearms I've ever owned. It's small, slim, and easy to shoot. The action is a bit stiff to rack but if a woman is taught the proper method of racking a handgun (overhand two hand-push method) she would be able to do it just fine.

But I do happen to agree that a 38 revolver is usually the best choice. It is extremely simple - point and shoot.

EDIT: I forgot to add if you want to make any gun yellow, just contact these guys. They can take care of it for you.

Go to ontargetgunsllc.com. For some reason when I link it, it doesn't work.
