It is articles like these that cost people hundreds of dollars for a gun that is NOT ideal for carry. The criteria that they use to promote these guns as best for concealed carry for women are not anywhere near the most important criteria to be used when selecting a defensive/concealed carry handgun. Accuracy? That comes from proper kinesthetic alignment and trigger control (and maybe the sights depending upon the size of the target and distance from it). In reference to one of the guns, the author even states that it points instinctively. First off, the gun cannot point, the shooter does that. Secondly, there is nothing instinctive about shooting a gun, but there are intuitive things about shooting. There is a difference between the two. Try fit (most important), efficiency, and reliability for the criteria to select a proper defensive handgun. Secondly, take a course from someone (I recommend IPS but then I am biased). It is better to spend the tuition fee, then go make a purchase with an informed decision than to buy a gun, take a class, then have to go buy a new gun. FYI - there is only one gun on this list that I would recommend to anyone (men or women) for concealed carry. buzzpo/top-10-best-concealed-carry-guns-women/
