A few factors for the first-time gun buyer to consider: comfort, capacity, size, weight, ease of maintenance, whether they have sufficient grip strength. Not to mention the most important aspect — what you want your new gun to do.

Of course, all of these considerations apply equally to both men and women when they’re looking to buy their first handgun. But as anyone who’s spent much time at all in gun stores can tell you, not all of them are amenable to the inexperienced woman looking for her first firearm.

Maybe the best advice in this video: if you’re not getting the answers you need, or are getting an attitude…move on. Find another store that will give you the time you need and answer all of your questions.
