All,

My S.O. is a 5 foot, 95lb cute little thing (meaning she's unlikely to overpower anyone, except maybe with her cutness

). She lives in a secluded apartment complex which has had some break ins and armed robberies in the last year. Luckily, she lives on the 4th floor, so a break in is unlikely. Regardless, we're long distance, and I'd sleep better at night if she had a firearm of some sort next to her bed. I figure I'd get her pepper spray first, but, that's a boring thread.

I have always wanted to get my women in to firearms, but, for the most part, women find the loud noises and recoil to be too much for them. I figure I'd get her something she'd be familiar with and not afraid to use, as opposed to some ass kicking one-shot-stop-monster that she's scared of.

At first I was thinking, Walther P22, but she told me she shot the GSG-5 before and liked it. Which made me think, M&P15-22? But then, I thought...if I'm going to use a M&P15-22, why not a AR15 with a .22LR ciener conversion kit, that way, if/when she's ready we can graduate on to .223 rounds.

Anyway, here's the question I pose:

What type of firearms do you usually find suitable for your S.O.?
