Welcome, Ms. shootist! We forum members are happy to welcome you
to our gun nut/gun enthusiast community!!

Many good recommendations have been made above. You may find that
a gun salesperson will talk you into a .380 caliber semi-automatic since that's
the "proper gun for a gal". A .380 may be the gun for you, but moving higher
in caliber would give you more threat-stopping ability.

Make sure that when you actually go for your CHL that you use a semi-automatic
to qualify. Texas CHL law is pretty liberal, but remember that if you qualify
with a revolver, you will be restricted to "revolver only" carry once you have your
plastic.

You will find that guns are like shoes. You like one pair, but then you will find
other guns that also feel good in your hand and shoot well.

Glocks are a very popular, high quality brand, but it is also a brand that feels
unnatural to many people's hands due to a grip angle which is quite different from
many other brands of pistol. YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).

Happy hunting. Let us know, by continuing to comment on this thread, what guns
you have tried, your opinions, and what you finally get.

Happy trails. Don't be a stranger.
