The Best Handguns For Women: 2023 Edition

January 6, 2023 | 0 Comments

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that the gun community will continue to thrive. More and more people have picked up an interest in firearms with women leading the pack, and this year is no exception. For those of you that are new to the world of firearms or are looking to learn more, we’re here to help! In this blog, we’ll cover some of the most important considerations when choosing the right handgun for you. After that, we’ve compiled a list of our recommendations for the best handguns for women, all of which you can find at great prices on our site.

Let’s get started!

How To Find the Perfect Handgun

With so many different handgun options out there, it is easy to get overwhelmed with information and have trouble moving forward. Overall, the right handgun for women is a personal endeavor. It takes time to research, test, and get a feel for the firearm that you may be carrying every single day.

Not sure where to start? We have put together a comprehensive guide of things you need to know before you start your handgun search.

Size

Handguns come in various sizes to accommodate shooters’ hand sizes, compliance, and more. Your options are full-sized, compact, and now subcompact (also known as micro-compact). The best handgun for women will depend on their needs, what they are comfortable handling, as well as how they plan on using their firearm.

Full-sized

As the largest category of pistols on the market, a full-sized handgun is a preferred choice for most. They are large enough to get a sure, comfortable grip and generally have minimal recoil. They usually have barrel lengths in the 5 to 6-inch range, large frames, and a longer sight radius. That said, a petite woman may be comfortable using a full-sized Glock at the range, but it’s not necessarily ideal for daily concealed carry.

Compact

For daily concealed carry, a compact firearm is ideal. A compact firearm may be more appealing for female shooters since it can be easier to get a secure, comfortable grip. More and more brands like Glock, Ruger, and Taurus have produced high-quality compact firearms that are perfect for new shooters, women, or anyone that wants a reliable pistol in a reduced size. Compact handguns feature barrel lengths between 3.5 and 4.5-inches, smaller and lighter-weight frames, and reduced grip size.

Subcompact

Subcompact firearms are a little newer and are often referred to as a “pocket pistol”. These handguns are typically about 1-inch in width with the barrel averaging about 3.25-inches. Every handgun is different, so some may be bigger and some may be smaller. Many like to keep these as backup firearms, typically concealed in lower back or ankle holsters.

Browse our wide selection of full-sized, compact, and subcompact handguns for sale now!

Caliber

22LR

Everyone has to start somewhere and .22LR is a great place to get that start. Not only is it easy to shoot (minimal recoil), it’s easy to find bulk ammo deals and it’s affordable. This is not the best choice for daily carry, but for target practice? Absolutely! Brands like CCI produce high-quality cartridges that are accurate, no matter how green the shooter may be.

Shop our collection of .22LR ammo, available at GrabAGun

9mm Luger

Arguably the most popular ammo for sale, 9mm Luger is trusted by civilians, military personnel, and law enforcement agencies around the world. It’s a highly versatile round that can be used for daily carry defense, target practice, home defense, and more. While it does have more recoil than .22LR, it’s still incredibly manageable and great for beginners, women—anyone, really. What’s more, it’s not hard to find bulk 9mm ammo deals online, especially at GrabAGun!

.40 S&W

Even though 9mm replaced this as the most popular ammo choice, .40 S&W is still just as effective as it ever was. .40 S&W was originally the FBI standard cartridge because of how damaging it ultimately was. This is a heavy and powerful load, which is why many trust it for their daily defense carry. It might be a bit much for women to use, so make sure to practice with it as often as possible if you decide to get a .40 S&W handgun.

.45 ACP

.45 ACP offers a beautiful combination of accuracy and stopping power. As the official standard military issue for more than 70 years, it’s no wonder why so many choose this for their daily carry. Whether you are at the range or just going about your day, .45 ACP is a reliable cartridge to have on hand. Much like .40 S&W, this may be a harder load for women to use, but with enough practice, you’d be surprised at how easy it is to handle!

Recoil

A common misconception about smaller guns is that they will have less recoil. This is far from the truth. While a smaller gun appears less intimidating, they often pack a serious punch. Combine that with less weight and shorter barrels and many learn, the hard way, that smaller handguns for sale ultimately fail to absorb all that shock. So, though a smaller handgun is easier to conceal, that doesn’t mean it’s better for your overall needs. The most important thing you need to do once you get a new handgun is to practice! Make sure you know how to handle the gun and how it feels to shoot before wearing it as your daily carry.

Handbag vs. Holster

If you plan on carrying a Glock handgun daily, then it’s important to decide how. Many women may prefer to carry their EDC in a handbag while others may want to use a holster. Unfortunately, most women’s clothing is not geared toward concealed carry, so it can be difficult to figure out what will be best for your everyday needs. Our suggestion is to try out various methods in store to see what you’re most comfortable with. Then, shop for holster deals at GrabAGun to find exactly what you need.
