A lady needs options to match her style of the day. I range from a Ruger sp101 .357, to a p-38 9mm makarov, to a Keltec .380. For plinking I prefer my Ruger Mark II .22. And for a side arm during small game, a .22 revolver. At home, there's always the Winchester defender 18 in barrel or the SKS. Deer season brings out the reliable lever actions. ;-)
