#2
Smith & Wesson
4.6
(27)
"Would be the best first gun for a naivest. Easy to manipulate and specifically designed for people that have trouble mitigating recoil."
"Bodyguard 2.0 .380"
"Bodyguard 2.0. I have small hands, and this gun is made for it."
"S&W Bodyguard 2.0 would be my recommendation!"
"I’d go for the S&W shield plus. 10 rounds in the mag but the same size as a Glock 43."
"Smith and wesson FPC is a great rifle that can fold in half."
"S&W FPC, it folds in half so it's very compact."
"S&W Shield EZ .380 ACP. Easiest pistol to rack on the market."
"Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 in 380. Its the most popular EDC of the year for good reason."
"I can't recommend a revolver high enough!"
#3
Ruger
4.4

"Everyone needs a Ruger 10/22."

#4
CZ
4.5
(17)
"CZ P10C, P10F, P10S. All tried true and tested. All can be had for under $350."
"CZ P-10s for carry and a shotgun for the house."

"CZ is the answer for all bang-for-your-buck firearm needs."
"Cz p10c, was skeptical at first but got mine as my first handgun."
"You can get the optics ready variant of either one under $400. The trigger is one of the best out of the box triggers on a striker fired pistol anywhere near its price point."
"CZ p10s or P10C"
"Czp10c."
#5
Sig
5.0
(12)
"Try a SIG P226 in 9mm."

#6
Sig Sauer
4.8
(12)
"Sig p365."

"P365 series. The grip is tiny. She will love it."
"Try testing out a S&W shield plus or Sig Sauer 365."
"Look at the p365 fuse."
"Any P365 variant is good."
