I like shooting this gun. It works great for dog discipline.

I had that exact one, for that exact reason.
Little E36 M3s broke it when I wasn't home.

Don't completely dismiss loud noises for discouraging animal attacks. I stopped a multi-dog attack on my corgie in my fenced rural front yard with one .38 Special round into the dirt at the base of a tree. The attackers left immediately.

The sane, sober, but noncommitted baddies do. Those that don't are a real problem.

This, friends, is the province of the home defense shotgun. The Alamo position. The defender is in hull defilade behind the bed or other large object, covering the single avenue of approach with a major-caliber something. No carrying, no doors to open for the defender, weight is not an issue, etc.

Then, go shopping with her and get her one!
My wife has a 9mm S&W chiefs special and really likes it.
In reply to slantvaliant:
Not dismissing the effectiveness of loud noises. Most any predator (whether 4 or 2 legged) will probably decide on another path if you fire a gun into the air.
The insane, drugged, and committed baddies are not likely to be targeting her apartment. Nice enough to not have bad people around, but not so nice as to be a worthwhile target. That, and they will need to either get through a metal security door, or smash a window and climb through to broken glass to get in.
I mean, there are sorts of hypothetical scenarios you can come up with on why you need "Tool X", but at some point you need to think about what is actually feasible. Insane meth-head is only moderately more likely than Taliban invasion which is only slightly more likely than zombie outbreak.
Yup, we're going to go shooting and try stuff out in the next week or two to see what she likes.

My problem with Glocks is the composite grip. They're so light on the bottom that the difference between the first few shots and the last few makes it like a new gun with every shot as the grip gets lighter. Otherwise they are one of the finest guns on the market. Its just frustrating that the balance changes so dramatically as you empty the clip.

California has a solution to that: not allowing you to have more than a 10 round clip.
My last post was from my phone so I did not elaborate. The SW chiefs special is an older gun. Therefor you don't get all the fancy composites. I like to call it a 3/4 scale Beretta. Because it is smaller it was much easier / comfortable for my wife to handel. It literally fit her hands as a HK or other full size weapon fit mine. I actually like it allot. It is "light and fast" but because it is old school construction it has a very solid feel that I like in a weapon.
They still command 300-400 in good used condition.

Yeah, you're right. About as likely as a 'ROID RAGING naked taser-resistant body builder showing up on your doorstep.
Stuff happens.

or, since this is about issues on the trail, having someone that doesn't care why you're there that doesn't want you snooping around: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/36996-Kiamichi-Trail-%28K-Trail%29-Adventure-The-good-the-bad-and-the?p=540689#post540689
My official vote for close quarter work with irate pot farmers and big game alike(center):
Kicks like a damn mule, and I'd never hand it to a woman I claimed to care about, but what a package! Avoid Lew Hortons at all cost. It's an even more desirable package for carry with round butt, but their machinists butchered the internals. NIB Hortons are still commanding a $800+ premium over even the superior Performance Center version new from Smith. Criminal.
