Michigan CPL FAQ: Can You Recommend A Good Quality .380 Caliber Handgun?

Ask The Michigan Firearms Instructor
Q: I'm looking at buying my daughter her first handgun for her 33rd birthday in July. While it will be her first owned gun, she's no stranger to firearms. She's pretty enamored with the flashbang bra holster so I'm considering a .380. Any suggestions?


A: The flashbang holster is a great choice for ladies who can adequately conceal a small frame firearm attached to their under-garments. The flashbang holster is geared towards smaller caliber sizes.

If you have been following my page for a spell, you know that I strongly suggest a 9mm as a minimum for personal protection. If you are set upon the .380 as a caliber, then I would suggest the Walther PK380.

However, if you are flexible on larger caliber sizes, I would suggest looking at models from Glock, S&W, and Springfield.

As for specific model, I would suggest she try a variety of 9mm pistols to find one that fits her hand like a glove and that she can shoot well. I can consult if you need my assistance.
