If she can stand the trigger on a P3AT I would say she should get it. I personally don't trust anything less than a .380 and don't like that unless I have no choice. I wouldn't carry anything smaller and encourage anyone else not to.

I personally think the P3AT is the most near perfect inexpensive gun a woman could have. I have heard of women that tuck one inside their bra like a shoulder holster. The gun is lightweight and much more effective than, in my opinion, a .25 that is most likely heavier. I hate the trigger but for that size and weight, I deal with it.

It is better she have a .25 than nothing. If she can't or won't find another gun I say, let it be for now. She has something and that something may be enough. Keep looking and suggesting and her practicing when she is able. That may mean dad is home with the little one while mom is at the range with friends. And if she has none that shoot I hope you find her a female shooting buddy. They don't have to be intimate friends but should have common interest. That is all just a reminder as I am sure you are on top of things. Good luck and God bless you all.
