Not the best defensive gun, but better than harsh words and small enough that she will carry it. My plans were to work with her on her grip strength and try to move her up to a larger caliber. Well, the Ruger LCP Max is very close to the same size as the .22 LCP. She has not shot the Max yet, but she can work the slide on it and lock it back with the slide stop. She was headed out on a girls trip and took the LCP Max with her. I may have lost my gun.

Actually just longer by only 1/2 inch in grip length to go from 6 to 10 rounds in the magazine. The width of the MAX is actually 0.01" narrower according to Ruger specs. Four extra rounds and an arguably more comfortable and controllable grip seems like a win-win.
