I have an AR format 9mm and I love it! Fun to run, easy to strip and reassemble. Mine is an SBR, got it for home defense as well as something that could "reach out a bit" if need be. I also have a lever action .357 rifle that I have used as a teen for deer hunting. It is small enough for "home use as well". My newest acquisition that I desperately need to get out and run is a Remington 870 XS Tactical. I have practiced running and stripping, and while I have shot other 12g, this one is still yet to go to the range.

Don't know where you are located, but we often have many "moms" in our ladies groups in our area. Would love to "add her" to the roster!

JMPHO - However, I would never leave a gun for protection with anyone that wasn't willing to become comfortable with running it. If they should try to use it for defense and fumble, it could be a fatal delay.

I have used both a 223 AR format and my 9mm SBR in AR format. I did have some trouble seating the mags in my 9mm at first, then learned two things - they were cruddy after market mags, and down load them by 2 (30 instead of 32) and they slam home with little effort. I have a ball shooting both! Do enjoy my 9 more, but that is why it is MINE

While I so appreciate you wanting to her to have options, might be better served getting her some speed loaders or finding a class where she can learn from someone that is not her son telling her how. Again, JMPHO.
