Couple of Super Important Things I've Learned (TM) regarding the purchase of firearms for creatures with breastestes:

A: Give her the same gun that female cops carry (G19, AR-15, etc.), don't give her something ridiculous that you wouldn't use. There is no difference between the sexes as far as guns are concerned. Do not give a woman a .25 or a .32, anything that she likes because it is "cute, tiny, pretty," etc. Make her use what you use at first. If next year she decides that can handle a .38 J-frame for concealed carry, you know she's got a solid background with firearm fundamentals. If you want to get the S&W dedicated .22 AR, that would be an awesome choice for both of you to train on (you can do tactical .22 classes later) and she can use any of your dozen high speed ARs later with minimal training. This is assuming her biceps aren't made of spaghetti.

B: Immediately send her to have another person train her, she'll never listen to you the same way she'll listen to some ex cop. Ever seen that frustrated he's-on-delta-force-but-she's-new-to-shooting couple at the range? I've made the mistake of doing this before. Avoid it. Pay for her to take an intro safety class and half a dozen trips to the range and a "tactical" pistol class if she's doing CCW. Big point here is: Don't try to train someone you fuck.

C: The debate over starting with a .22 versus a full size pistol/rifle is endless. The .22 pistol/rifle will never get old, though. While you might just start with a Walter P22 or a Ruger 10/22 (both excellent choices), if you're moving toward concealed carry, you already have the guns she'll need to train on (G19, for example). Get her trained up on those before you buy her one of her own. And, ya know, make sure shooting isn't just a fad with her.

D: Tell her to pick up her nuts and deal with the recoil/noise. Nothing you're giving her to shoot (See A) is going to hurt her. Also make sure that she doesn't dress like a girly-girl when you go to the range. My last three girlfriends have burns between their tits from hot brass. Not fun for them.
