Chagur,
My younger two live in the UK so they aren’t permitted to own guns anyway let alone carry them around. When they visit me here we head for the shooting range.
And yup .45s are on the heavy side for the kids. The 9mm Glock was the most appropriate. My favorite is still the .357 magnum revolver; I seem to get better accuracy at distance with that. The .44 magnum I find gives too much kick, hurts my hand, so not so much fun.
But my daughters are all pretty rugged, they know where to kick and they aren’t the screaming types and don’t panic easily. That might not be enough in a real bad situation, but where the younger two live in the UK the risks are very low. And I think we are Ok here in Cupertino since we are next to Sunnyvale which was voted the safest city in the USA in 1998 (I think). And my 17 year old doesn’t hold back if she is pissed at something, she punched out a rival earlier this year who was messing with her boyfriend. I hate to think what she might do to a real menace. Funny thing is that she is the artist in the family.
