9mm revolver or auto for a woman....

There aren't many options out there for 9mm revolvers.

What's she going to do with it? Conceal carry or keep it in the car or what?

Auto, more rounds the merrier

Cause what if there are 7

Wouldn't you rather have more than you need than not enough?

SP101 is a great carry gun.

If it's not going to be conceal carried, I'd get a full size wheelgun.

I would take an endless supply. Makes a lot of sense. Watch videos of armed encounters, it doesn't take any time to get 6 rounds off. Also, you can drop a mag and reload an auto pretty fast. Not so much with a revolver.

She's shot both automatics & revolvers; she likes the feel & is a better shot with a revolver but she likes the extra shots & easy reload of an auto.

She needs to be the one who chooses. Do not make the mistake of buying a gun for her and shoving it in her hand. She will be much more likely to carry the gun if she chooses.

It would be worth your time to watch this: Firearms for Women. But as a first gun, I almost always default to "full sized 9mm semi auto." It carries numerous benefits over a tiny gun, the most being less felt recoil.

We're looking at a 9mm, what's says the OB, what's the better choice?

If limited to 9mm, easily semi auto. You would need moon clips to fit 9mm in a revolver and it just adds another unnecessary piece of complexity.

You're saying that if you hit what you're aiming for, 6 is enough?

Which is better if a round fails to go off?

I'll hang up an listen.
