I am going out on another limb here, but am going to say it anyway – men and women are different. Men are bigger, on average stronger, wear different clothing, and even think differently about self defense. For these reasons, women should look at concealed carry differently than men.
Size and Strength
On average women are smaller than men. Going along with that, it is simple physics that if a person is bigger they are generally stronger. For this reason, women should think about smaller caliber weapons. There are several reasons for this.
Smaller calibers weigh less. A Desert Eagle is going to feel like a cinder block to a smaller woman, both from the size and weight factor. If it is uncomfortable to carry, there is more chance she is going to “forget” it and leave it behind. A compact .38 revolver will seem much less of a burden to a woman.
