I'm looking for a semi-auto handgun for my daughter. She IS NOT a shooter but has shown an interest in joining me at the range. I'm considering both the 40sw and 9mm. I'm concerned about recoil for her - as she's a new shooter I don't want something with heavy recoil that may discourage her. I would also like something big enough to take out the ocassional dog running deer on my property. Any recommendations?
ummmm how old is she? if she is younger than 10 start her off with a 25 semi auto, 11-15 a 38specical 16-20 a 9mm 40sw or a 357mag or even a 45 colt
. but personally i wouldn't go any higher than a 44mag [&:]
