Advice on first handgun. I'm a woman with fairly medium sized hands, so not tiny hands, as far as grip goes. Looking for something reliable and not too bulky that I can take on long hikes and camping for an extra safety measure. But not so small that it looks ridiculous wee baby gun. I fully intend to get professional training and practice with this gun until I feel confident and proficient. Got my short range jogging and everyday weapons sorted, but when I'm way out away from civilization I don't want to take chances, be it with man or beast. Thanks for any advice.
