Guns For Gals
Some Good Choices Are Found Within Conventional Wisdom, And Others Are Hiding “Outside-The-Box”
A GUNS reader suggested a story on which handguns might be best for a defense-minded woman. Our editor agrees.

There are multiple ways for a person with limited upper-body strength to manipulate a semi-automatic pistol. First, if it’s an outside hammer design that’s not double-action-only, cocking the hammer will alleviate the additional resistance of the mainspring, leaving only the tension of the recoil spring for the shooter to work against.
