From a few people I've talked to at some of the sport shops in different areas of the country, women are not buying little girly guns. They are buying large caliber side arms, and they are learning to use them.
My wife carries my Springfield XD .45 with a 5 inch barrel.She doesn't shoot.One day I too her out to the range and she shoot 3 cartridges in the bullsame eye lower left and put the gun down and asked me if I'd quit bugging her about shooting!
