Conceal Carry Opinions for a "Small woman"

[SKWERLZ]

You may look at the P365 from Sig. Its available in .380 and 9mm. If you can handle 9mm, I would recommend it over .380.

Smith and wesson shield ez is a good choice. Ill keep carrying my bobcat 22 though. Ill take my chances on pissing someone off with it

I agree with both of the above.
As for the 22, it’s a LOT better than nothing

If you have to shoot someone, shoot them below the belt buckle with what you got. .22 lr bullet will not break the pelvis, but bounce around it cut the nerves. They'll drop like a sack of potato's. Hope you practice with it. And have ammo that will work the action.

I went with i post night sight on my latest 9mm, I really like shooting it, very accurate. Realized with age and readers the 3 dot slowed me up and that trouble would more likely be after dark. Sights would not matter during an armed car jacking, a greater risk in many cities today.

Never thought about having a good holster that would enable me to carry a somewhat bigger gun more easily; thanks for that advice. I'm going to get a Glock43, know anything about those? My uncle is a police officer and he carries one regularly and likes it. More so, a lot of folks seem to like the Glock43. I've heard good things about the P365. I will be sure to get a good holster and check in out a horse hide type like yours. Thank you.

I've used my P365xl to eliminate Armadillos. A good thing about the 365xl is it comes ready for red dot mounting. AND it comes with great night sights. Not so with the Glock.

My daughter, size 2, carries a Shield I gave her. She likes my Sig P230 more - thinner, lighter, less recoil.

Armadillos... Everyone seems to love the P365.

Since you are already familiar with the Beretta platform, move up from the Bobcat to the 3032 Tomcat in 32 ACP and run the Buffalo Bore: https://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=132

Ankle holster

Ankle holsters are not good for a woman to carry in! she would have to bend over to get to it. putting her at a disadvantage in having to bend over. Might not be able to fight her way back up. Have always taught a fanny pack worn in front for a woman. or in a coat pocket.

I wanted a Glock and could have bought it at a discount. Then I realized I would have to buy the Glock, then pay for night sights and then try to find a way to install a reflex sight. The P365XL comes with steel night sights and is optics ready. For me, running a reflex sight really makes shooting easy.

Bobcat: Dump the clip on someone and I think they will start listening.

I didn’t read all the replies so forgive me if my thoughts are a repeat…
If you have a certain holster you like for the gun you carry now make sure whatever holster you like is available for your new one. I cary a kahr cw 45 or cw9, kahr has a pretty significant lineup, as do others, that let you chose the frame size and the cartridge. I really wanted smaller frame 9mm that kahr sold, until I shot it, the cw was a good compromise for me, in both 45 and 9. You can go to an even smaller sized pistol in a 380 but the real small 380s are horrible to shoot, ruger makes a 380 in the same frame size as their 9mm, kahr makes some 380s that are slightly larger frames than the ultra small ones as well, basically a given cartridge will be easier to shoot in a slightly larger gun, try some and find your happy medium
