I disagree, Bonnie, with your first sentence.
the one guy that started off that way was actually one of the best posts. there was a lot of good posting, including by men. but when the guys out number the women posting IN A FORUM THAT WAS DESIGNED TO LET US DISCUSS THINGS W/O THE TESTOSTERONE FIGHTING THAT HAPPENED ON PAGE 1 and seems to veer off topic with a lot of chest pounding yet no one called anyone is on it or brought it back into line?! WTF?! come on, women, either we have a vested interest in this forum or it becomes just another OT. guys have always been welcome here. and they always should be. Bonnie's 2nd and 3rd sentences are, imo, completely accurate BUT they should have been on page 1! by anyone! if we want a forum, we have to prove we want it and be ready to defend it....remind you of another issue? ok, end of rant.

My 4'11" daughter loves her 1911, my wife loves my daughters 1911 too
I think it's due to the single stack frame having a slimmer grip. I come to that conclusion as they really like the ppk/s too and almost every single stack pistol I've ever handed them Then my wife prefers my 686 revolver over anything else, she just loves single action on that thing Neither of my girls like any of my Glocks, 22/23/27/30sf/36

I'm glad my bf has never treated me like that. He took me out, showed me all the safe handling techniques for all the guns, then walked me through each one I wanted to try. By the end of the day the glock 19 and ak47 were my favorites.

My advice to any man or woman, and I am a Man, is to try out any gun the woman or man is thinking of buying. Rent it, use it, do failure to feed drills etc. My wife can't rack the slide on my Kimber warrior two. However, she can shoot it as well as most and I have no problem having it for my home defense gun. Try what you buy, before you buy. Make sure you can preform all the functions needed for defensive situations. I hear so many men recommend snub nose 38 specials for women and I truly feel this is a much more difficult gun to shoot well than any semi-auto that I have fired. Just my 92 cents worth (Inflation you know).

My ex of three years couldn't rack the slide of an XD9 or a Glock19. We spent hours and days going over it. She just didn't have the strength to do it. I taught her to not worry about the slides. I kept it chambered with 10 rounds on her side of the bed and taught her how to reload. "Releasing the slide wasn't an issue".
My wife however can out shoot me and was a Military Police officer for several years. There isn't a single gun in the house she couldn't field strip, clean and out shoot me with. She keeps your own 92fs that she owned before meeting me, next to her side of the bed.

Well said. Look at my avatar! Obviously I have no issues with either platform. I love my revolver and I love my semi auto. As a teen I learned to shoot an HK 40 cal. (The good older ones, not the usp, grrrr) So even though some might say that's something wild for a girl to shoot, it is still my favorite gun of all time. I loe shooting it and am most accurate with it out of anything I've ever shot! My CW9 was purchased for CCW and loe shooting it and have no issues with any of it's functions. I find the slide easy to rack and actually think a revolver is much more difficult to be accurate with, even though the function is simple and you can just keep pulling that trigger if you have a misfire. I agree, it wasn't what the guy was saying, it was how he was saying it. Everyone has a unique set of circumstances that they shop for a gun under, that makes it different for EVERYONE. I just don't like being looked down on based from one glance from behind a counter. I am used to a male dominated business world and get the little lady, you must be the secretary thing sometimes and I'll always turn to my husband as the one in charge of any situation that may arise and gladly take orders, but he also knows if he tells me to cover his 6, I've got it.

Not all women get excited over nails and fancy high heels. There are plenty of us who are femenine and still love a good deal on ammo or Patigonia boots! Personally, I'd rather have a new gun then a new coach purse any day. I already have one nice hand bag, you can only carry one of them at a time. No such thing as too many guns or too much ammo.

If you read everything posted, you'd see I have no issue with revolvers, but how the guy was talking down about women....a think a revolver is great! A lot harder to be a good shot with IMO.

And you don't 'thumb cock' revolvers, you shoot them double action like you are supposed to.
Not all revolvers are double action. Please tell us how your going to do that with a single action Revolver.

 And going back on topic, I really can't believe women racking a slide is an issue anymore. Just like with anything shooting related, training and practice prevail over gender biases. And back to off topic, maybe competition shooters aren't the best example for this discussion. Sorry Highlander51, but many if not most competition pistols (including the ones you pictured) have reduced recoil springs. Though I am certain the shooters shown are more than capable of handling factory spex pistols. Additionally off topic (hoping her or her father don't find me and kill me), just across the jailbait threshhold...  Sorry ladies, I am torn by my utmost respect for you as shooters and my chauvinistic admiration of your form.

I have been 'racking slides' since I was 8 years old. That is over 52 years and counting. I have not found a firearm I cannot handle although some I am a might afraid of shooting nowadays because of being a little brittle

omg this seriously went 3 pages??? lol....
OP: I do not disagree with you... I am a big fan of the 1911 although I trust a revolver just as well. It really depends on the situation. At least not much has changed since I've been offline with the squabbles and opinionated comments. Racking the slide comes with practice. I believe certain semi-autos may be difficult for some ladies in the beginning, depending on their experience. For example, I have a fairly new Les Baer. The slide's tight and has to be "broken in." One of my GFs could not get it to work. That doesn't make her a bad shooter. Once the gun was cocked first, then the slide could be pulled back. I don't care -- whatever works for a person, do it that way

good grief, monkez!
the woman is shooting and is serious about shooting. is she supposed to be relaxed and posing to make guys like you happy?! you do realize this is the Ladies Forum and that your comments are a tad over the line? and that Mr K created this forum so that the women of calguns could avoid comments such as you are making? geez, get a life and post a picture of yourself so we can tell you what's wrong with you. you are aptly named I might add......

So apparently the Ladies Forum is a place for men to come post photos of female shooters and then comment on the merits of their facial beauty and their body shapes?
Wow. BK

 Now you all want to shoot semi-auto pistols when all you can handle and should have are .22s? You chicks have some nerve. Btw, I sincerely apologize for posting the somewhat glam pics of female shooters. I'm not trying to promote or advance objectification of women even if I appreciate their skill and their aesthetic.

MEN! Op doesn't want you to fix the problem or her way of thinking she just wants you to listen!
I'm joking of course. I can see OPs point of view and the quote she copied. I don't recommend heavy recoil small autos to most people unless they have a need/interest in that. Sex has nothing to do with it.

This thread went for this many pages because you derailed it on page 1 by making ridiculous remarks about women shooters.
If you want to be a troll, there's a place for that. It's called the Off Topic forum. BK
