My father mentioned that my 70 yo stepmother would like to have a handgun for personal defense when she travels solo. I'm looking for suggestions on where to direct my father for a club or range that rents handguns so she can possibly try out a few. They live approximately between Beaver Falls and Ellwood City which would give them a range of travel approximately from Monaca to New Castle.

Also, any suggestions on something relatively inexpensive with very low recoil? She's REALLY petite. I think something like a KelTec P3AT would even be too much for her. I've never fired the P32. I'm thinking that .32 may be about the largest caliber she could tolerate.

If any members are even looking to sell something that might fit the bill, please PM me and I'll see if they're interested.

Thanks,
