14 Best Handguns For Women: All Sizes [2024]

“God created men and women, but Col. Colt made them equal.”

As a single mom who, not too long ago, ventured into the world of firearms and outdoor recreation, I’ve come to realize how essential it is for women, especially mothers like me, to be smart, safe, and empowered. It’s not merely about physical strength but arming oneself with knowledge and confidence.

If you’re stepping out of your comfort zone, just as I did, searching for a lightweight, low-recoil, and easy-to-carry handgun, I’m here to guide you through the process. Together, we’ll find the best handgun suited for women like us.

Here are my biggest conclusions and advice for women looking to buy a handgun:

1. I recommend the Glock 43 for its simplicity, lightweight design, and minimal recoil, ideal for beginners like me.
2. I suggest carrying a concealed handgun, such as the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, for enhanced security and confidence in public.
3. I prioritize safe handling and proper training with any handgun, especially important for those new to firearms.

Concealed carry handguns are important because they can significantly enhance your security, confidence, and situational awareness, empowering you to defend yourself and others effectively.

Concealed carry handguns are a self-defense norm. It’s an essential and responsible decision to defend yourself with easy-to-carry handguns because they offer safety wherever you go.

Besides, concealed carry boosts confidence.

Looking at the firearms statistics, as of 2021, women are a fast-growing demographic. According to The Well Armed Woman, there are around 20 million female gun owners in the US. Many women are taking matters into their own hands regarding self-defense.

That’s why concealed carry is the almighty equalizer. In other words, a 5-foot woman can quickly defend herself against a 6-foot assailant.

There are many reasons why women should consider an EDC (everyday carry). Here are the three most important reasons:

• Security – With proper training and a powerful concealed carry, you can effectively defend yourself and others around you.
• Confidence – No need for further statistics. Women generally feel more vulnerable on the streets. Having a trusty handgun with you always feels less stressful and gives you peace of mind.
• Awareness – Have you ever heard of the ‘bystander effect’? You heighten your situational awareness on the streets when carrying a concealed firearm. Practicing your draw speed in various assailant scenarios and drills is a good idea.

Of course, some would feel firearms are too much of a hassle or too dangerous for them and their family. If that’s the case, then I’d strongly recommend they go for tasers or pepper spray.

At Gun Made, we cannot emphasize the importance of self-defense enough.

We’ll start with the highly-favored Glock 43 as the #1 best handgun for women.

It’s an all-round, reasonably priced handgun that many would find no problems using for a long time. I haven’t seen any complaints besides aesthetics.

Best Overall – Glock 43 9mm

There’s a reason why you see Glocks everywhere. They are some of the most popular semi-automatic pistols, and law enforcement officers use them.

It’s a relatively new gun, with a single-stack magazine capacity of 6+1 and a stopping power of 9mm, with exceptional ease of use and simple design.

You can find smaller handguns on the market, but this one is perfect for someone with small hands. The Glock 43 is not as concealable as a Smith & Wesson M&P EZ, but it’s much easier to operate because of easy slide racking.

The trigger pull is lightweight, has minimal recoil, is easy to aim, and is lighter than the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, sitting at 16.4 ounces. It’s lightweight and has no manual safety, but it delivers quite the blow.

The downsides are that although it’s comfortable, the grip doesn’t provide good handling, and the trigger can be difficult to pull for some.

Despite the tiny downsides, I placed the Glock 43 on the ‘overall best spot’ because it’s a popular self-defense handgun of average size and weight. It’s light, reliable, and an all-round, no-nonsense handgun that anyone can confidently use.

See our Glock 43 review for the full rundown.

EXPERT TIP: I always try a handgun at a range before buying to make sure it meets my comfort and needs.

Glock Alternatives

Speaking of Glocks, here are some solid alternatives that are worth mentioning.

I don’t think it’s necessary, but if you want more mag capacity, check out the Glock 19. It’s a double-stack perfect for self-defense or competitive shooting.

You can’t go wrong with the Glock 42 .380 ACP either. It’s a semi-auto 6+1, only it’s a flat-bottomed magazine for compactness and pinky support. If you’re looking to add night sights or laser sights to it, it’s easier to customize than the Glock 43.

Best for Ergonomics – Smith & Wesson M&P Shield

Coming in at number 2 is the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. I see the Shield almost everywhere when self-defense is in question.

The S&W M&P (Military and Police) Shield is a striker-fired semi-automatic handgun with thumb safety. It’s slim and less than an inch wide, making it a very stealthy concealed carry firearm for anyone with small hands.

It has a short trigger pull with an audible reset and a low slide profile with a barrel axis, which reduces muzzle rise and makes it more comfortable for rapid reloading and shooting.

The pivot-style safety feature doesn’t allow any accidental discharges. It’s heavier than most guns on this list, weighing 20.8 ounces, but many will find the manageable recoil, handling, and grip texture ergonomics very comfortable.

The Smith and Wesson Shield also has a corrosion-resistant polymer frame with a stainless steel chassis for extra longevity and durability.

However, the rack and trigger might be heavy to pull, and some may find this challenging to shoot. The trigger doesn’t reset if you release it halfway, and it’s not as smooth as the Glock’s trigger.

Additionally, the 5.3-inch front sight radius is okay, but some may find it too narrow, further affecting accuracy as it’s difficult to align properly.

The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield is a solid choice for those who want to purchase a handgun on a budget, and it’s also easy to conceal. It’s highly affordable for a 9mm, going for around $400 on the market today.

If racking, reloading, and handling aren’t your thing, you can also check out the S&M Shield EZ. Smith & Wesson made this model more accessible to rack and handle, hence the name.

I didn’t like the uncomfortable grip much, and the stopping power and accuracy aren’t much of a contender to the Shield. However, the low recoil, striker safeties, smooth-as-butter slide rack, and ease of use make it a nice self-defense alternative for starters.

Best for High Capacity – Sig Sauer P365

Here’s another polymer, striker-fired, 9mm concealed carry favorite. Shooting Illustrated recognized it as the 2018 Handgun of the Year.

The almighty Sig Sauer P365 is designed for quick response. It’s a precision beast with increased recoil stability. I’d say it’s one of the most accurate concealed-carry guns out there.

It has extended 10, 12, and 15-round magazine capacity, which makes the P365 a good model for target practice and shooting galleries.

The 1-inch wide ergonomic grip feels just right, and I think it can be a nice fit if you have small hands. 

It’s slightly heavier than the Glock 43, with 17.8 ounces, but smaller in stature, making it a fine concealed carry for many different clothing options.

The stainless steel frame and slide, short trigger reset, non-intrusive iron sights, and 3.1-inch barrel greatly contribute to the P365’s solid balance and accuracy. The standard weight slightly lessens recoils, but some may still feel a kick.

We strongly recommend the Sig Sauer P365 as one of our top picks for accuracy and ease of maintenance. You can also check out the Sig Sauer 320 if you’re looking for a sleek polymer design, affordable customization, and easy takedowns.

Cleaning and field-stripping is a breeze, and almost easier to disassemble than the Glock and S&W, thanks to the takedown lever and fire control system. Regular maintenance means the trusty P365 will serve you well for a long time. Aftermarket customization is widely available since it’s a popular choice among gun enthusiasts.

To my account, it’s as reliable as any handgun, but I’ve read some reports of problems with faulty hardware.

However, I’ve seen so many happy, long-time fans of the P365 actively praising its features. It makes you want to try it yourself. And let’s be real; you pay $500-$600 dollars for a ‘pro-grade’ concealed carry sharpshooter. What else do you need?

Best for Concealability – Mossberg MC1-sc

I can understand how Mossberg got so much flak for the MC1sc, knowing that they’re a shotgun brand trying to get into the handgun business again. What I don’t get is how gun elitists still shun and dismiss it with no valid points.

They call it a ‘Ruger knock-off,’ ‘Shield and Taurus’ baby,’ ‘Walther is going to sue somebody,’ blah, blah… And I haven’t seen a single valid criticism about its features, besides the aesthetics.

The Mossberg MC1sc is a great budget choice for its value and features. I honestly don’t know what the fuss is about. They even released a new version, the MC2c, which we did a full review on.

It’s a lightweight, polymer, easy-to-conceal handgun with its slim, dehorned design that enables a snag-free quickdraw. Top that with a proper holster and you have yourself a great self-defense firearm.

It has a clear, 7-round magazine so you can see the condition of the bullets. It also has a nice grip. If anything, it may be too grippy.

It’s heavier than the Glock 43, weighing 22 ounces fully loaded, but it’s highly stable with optimal accuracy and targeting. The trigger is a flat-profile easy-pull, with a Safe Takedown System™, which is Mossberg’s design, and enables you not to pull the trigger during disassembly.

Although a newcomer, the subcompact MC1sc 9mm doubles down on its compact size and ergonomics and is one of the most effective self-defense budget handguns for women.

EXPERT TIP: Investing in a suitable holster makes carrying more secure and comfortable, especially considering my clothing and daily activities.

Best for Precision – Sig Sauer P238

Here’s another Sig Sauer classic. It’s a 1911-inspired beaver-tail style frame, .380 beast, perfect for those of you who have problems racking the slide and a smaller grip for comfort.

EXPERT TIP: I learned that smaller handguns might have more recoil, so finding a balance between size, comfort, and recoil is crucial.

Although some may find the classic style design suitable, it’s widely dubbed ‘the ugly duckling.’ People tend to be thrown off by the humpback design but, make no mistake, the pocket-sized P238 is no doubt one of the best .380 ACP pistols for women who are looking for an accurate and comfy handgun for self-defense.

Measuring 5.5” in overall length, and 15.2 ounces in weight, with a single-action, all-metal frame, and light recoil, the Sig P238 is one of the most powerful concealed carry pistols money can buy.

It’s effortless to rack the slide, offers low recoil, and a smooth trigger for that much-needed accuracy.

Granted, there are reports of accidental discharges when dropped from a 30-degree angle. Not to mention, it has a short grip, which many large-handed people will find infuriating. Yet, it remains a popular market choice.

It’s easy to maintain, featuring no-hassle field-stripping and affordable customization. You have so many colors and configuration designs that if you like, you could make your gun fancy and everything.

The Sig Sauer P238 will burn a $600 hole in your pocket, and the magazines go from $40 to $60 (7 rounds) each. But I’m convinced that its reliability and accuracy justify the hefty price.

Best for Everyday Carry – Ruger LCP II

Ruger has brilliant concealed carry models that are known for their lightweight design.

If you’re a Ruger fan, and you’re maybe looking for a lightweight, polymer-frame revolver that weighs less than a pound and uses full-moon clips, the Ruger LCR is for you. It comes in various calibers, like .22 LR, .357 Mag, and 9mm, which is unusual for a revolver.

But the single-action, hammer-fired LCP II is definitely a nice improvement that will carry on the torch. The biggest difference between the Ruger LCP and the LCP II is that the original LCP has a revolver-like trigger, in contrast to the bladed LCP II.

This is the most lightweight concealed carry we have on this list – it weighs only 10.6 ounces unloaded and is smaller than the Glock 43. Fans of snag-free, lightweight handguns will be delighted to have this gun.

However, some may find the recoil a bit snappy. But, with a little bit of practice and if you spend some time getting a feel for it, this won’t be much of a problem. Additionally, the LCP II doesn’t offer much customization and accessorizing freedom, and the iron sights can be a problem for some.

Besides that, it’s a concealable, lightweight powerhouse with a solid grip and well-balanced handling. The slide lock is a nice touch, and the slide is super easy to pull.

EXPERT TIP: I find lighter handguns like the Ruger LCP II easier to conceal, though they may have more recoil.

Best for Stopping Power – Kimber Pro Carry II

Here’s a Kimber Pro Carry II with a .45 caliber and a classic 1911 look. It’s also available as a 9mm if the recoil proves too stubborn for you.

It’s stainless steel, weighs 28 ounces, has a single-action trigger, and has an extra grip safety, which reduces accidental discharge. I believe most would find the satin silver finish and the double-diamond checkered grips really stylish.

The 1911 form really adds to the compact frame, and many would find that it’s a breeze to shoot with, as long as you get used to the .45 cal recoil. The low-profile iron sights are really cool, too. 

The Kimber Pro Carry II has problems with some ammo brands. It’s important to test this out. Remember that every gun has ammo brands it likes and dislikes, and you can encounter feeding problems and hear some dings here and there.

Other than that, the Kimber Pro Carry II .45 is an impressive $500 dollar self-defense choice, if you’re looking for a scary-looking handgun that kicks like a mule.

Best for Versatile Handling – Walther PPS M2

If you think we missed mentioning a Walther handgun, you’ve got another thing coming.

It’s a nice update of the classic PPS (Polizeipistole Schmall). A thin, single-stack, 9mm compact handgun with an overall length of 6.3 inches. Both left and right-handed shooters easily access the safety. The loaded chamber indicator also shows you when you’re ready to fire.

Walther chose a highly ergonomic and comfortable handgun with a 1-inch width and moderately scored grip. So, it won’t matter whether you have big or small hands. It weighs 21.1 ounces, and although it’s one of the heaviest on this list, it has low recoil and a 3.2-inch barrel for steady shooting.

The downside is that the trigger is pretty heavy, with 6.1 lbs of pressure. Still, I prefer heavy triggers to prevent any accidental discharges. What’s more, the slide is difficult to rack. If you want an easier-to-rack Walther, go for the Walther CCP 9mm.

The push-button magazine release is a nice touch, offering faster reloading. You can also find the Walther PPS with red laser sights for extra accuracy.

For a Walther concealed carry handgun, a $400-$500 price range is pretty solid if you ask me.

Here are some EDC handguns that didn’t make it on the main list but are still a solid self-defense consideration.

Not that we don’t recommend them – we leave it up to you.

Behold…

Best for Classic Style – Smith & Wesson 340 PD

Somebody might ask, ‘what about revolvers?’ Don’t worry. Here’s a good one.

They call this the lightest .357 ever made. The Smith and Wesson 340 PD single-handedly (pun intended) dispels the myth that revolvers have no business in self-defense firearms for women.

We didn’t include it in the main list because of the .357 kicking calibers, the fact that it’s loud like an infernal cannon and that it’s not as compact as the other guns on the list. But, hey, it’s a revolver. It’s your weapon if you don’t want the hassle of slide-racking Glocks.

It’s also very easy to disassemble and clean.

The 340 PD is a tiny, double-action-only, concealed-carry that can deliver massive stopping power. It has top marks in simplicity, safety, and ease of use. The 10 lbs trigger pull is annoying, but this is good for preventing accidental discharges.

It has only 6 rounds, and the reload speed is molasses, but it’s fairly light and reliable.

We included this revolver on this list because of its simplicity. Besides, seeing it could make an assailant rethink their life choices.

Best for Minimalist Design – Beretta Nano

The first thing that comes to mind is, ‘look at this cute little baby Glock’. The Beretta Nano is a compact, semi-automatic handgun by Beretta USA.

It features a very compact, snag-free design with excellent ergonomics for concealed carry. With no external safety levers or any other external parts, the Nano can’t entangle in clothing or get stuck in a holster.

It’s curvier than a Glock, and offers ambidextrous handling for left and right-handed people. It has a non-reflective, technopolymer design, and the non-serialized grip frame offers customization with various colors and sights.

The trigger pull might be difficult for some, but it’s not much of a problem. The only evident flaw is that Beretta Nano’s firing pin is made of plastic. Continued use bends the plastic firing pin, and the pin may sometimes fail to hit the bullet primer. This is a potential reliability issue.

The size and weight of the Beretta Nano offer ease of use and accuracy for a concealed carry this size. It goes around $500 on the market.

Best for Ease of Use – Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ 380

The Smith & Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ is a household name for easy racking. It’s specifically designed for ease of use. What’s more, it’s a very popular concealed carry option for people suffering from arthritis.

The Shield EZ is a semi-automatic .380 ACP shooter with an internal hammer and a crisp, audible trigger with a tactile trigger reset. It has an 8-round capacity, a button that compresses the magazine spring, and a very important loaded chamber indicator. It also comes with two complimentary mags that are very easy to load.

Most would expect a snappy recoil from .380 pistols, but the S&W Shield EZ weighs around 18.5 ounces and has a 6.7-inch overall length, so it soaks up the recoil perfectly. The grip texture is aggressive enough for a good, firm hold.

As for the controls, you have the grip safety and the reversible magazine release, which are super easy to manipulate. This specific model doesn’t have a manual safety, but if you want to feel more confident and secure, there’s a Shield EZ with a manual safety.

Though the factory sights are nothing special, the 3.6-inch barrel is pretty long and offers solid accuracy for a .380, which makes it a great beginner pistol.

Additionally, it’s a very popular choice, and you can find all kinds of aftermarket parts. You have concealed carry holsters, various grips for better control, tritium sights that can significantly improve your accuracy, and an underside rail for pistol lights.

This Shield EZ uses the expensive and hard-to-find .380 ACP cartridge, but there’s also the S&W Shield EZ 9mm models that come with thumb safety or without.

Best for Compact Power – Ruger LC9s

In 2011, Ruger introduced the LC9, a fantastic double-action 9mm concealed carry with a short trigger pull for easy shooting.

Both newcomers and veterans loved the LC9 hammer-fired pistol so much, but some wanted a striker-fired 9mm. So, in 2014, Ruger came up with the Ruger LC9s, a superb concealed carry pistol.

The Ruger LC9s is a very small, single-stack, semi-automatic handgun with a striker-fired mechanism that greatly improves the short, 4.5-pound trigger pull. It’s much lighter than the LC9’s trigger. Moreover, it has a finger extension for a longer grip surface, so it’s perfect for many different hand sizes.

Weighing around 17 ounces, it’s lighter than the S&W Shield EZ .380. The beveled edges mean easy, snag-free concealing, while the thin width won’t print under clothing. It’s small enough to be fitted in purses as well, making it a great concealed carry model for women.

The small frame and light weight mean extra snappy recoil, so expect a bit of a kick from this 9mm pistol. Some might not like the 7-round capacity, but it’s more powerful than the .380 ACP, so this evens things out.

While the 3.1-inch barrel doesn’t do much for accuracy, the dovetailed, drift adjustable HiVIZ fiber optic 3-dot sights offer great target acquisition and are visible enough for day and nighttime use.

The LC9s is made to be as safe as possible, and it has lots of safeties like integrated trigger safety, a mag disconnect, a manual safety, and a loaded indicator notch on the back of the slide.

This plain model is a molded polymer with a black and blued finish, but if you’re looking for different aesthetics, the LC9s models come with a plethora of color options.

Best for Modular Design – Sig Sauer P320 Compact

As one of the most sought-after 9mm CCW handguns, the SIG Sauer P320 Compact is viable and light enough to be used by women for concealed carry.

The full-size P320 was the same pistol that got adopted by the US Army Service, and the Beretta APX was a contender for that contract. The Compact is the smaller version, but it still retains the characteristics and quality of the standard model.

Built from a completely original blueprint, it’s a great double-action polymer pistol with a gritty trigger and a loud trigger reset. The SigLite night sights are very visible and grant decent target acquisition.

With a 6.7-inch length and no external safety nor decocking lever, it’s a solid, snag-free EDC option that’s made to be hidden in a holster under your clothing. The reversible magazine release and ambidextrous slide catch make it a good option for left-handed shooters.

Although on the heavy side with its 26 ounces, this compact pistol has a 15-round magazine that makes it a great practice pistol. Disassembling and cleaning it doesn’t require pulling the trigger or using tools.

What makes it special is its unique grip frames that are customizable in contrast to plain modular backstraps. You have separate grips with various widths that perfectly accommodate the gun into any palm.

Not only that, but the fire control assembly is completely removable, and there are slide and barrel conversions that let you switch between barrel lengths and calibers, like the .40 S&W and the .45 ACP. You can convert the P320 from a full-size pistol to a concealed carry one.

Best for Refined Performance – Kimber Micro 9

Ever wanted to own a Colt 1911 but keep it hidden under clothing? Kimber has a fantastic little number that rides on the waves of innovation.

The Kimber Micro 9 is a compact pistol built on a 1911-style platform with a single-action trigger, fast magazine release, smooth reloading, and a stainless steel barrel and aluminum frame that soaks up that 9mm recoil.

While the subcompact 1911 combo might be intimidating for some, it’s a solid pistol for small hands that both beginners and seasoned 9mm enthusiasts can use. This one is 3 ounces lighter, but there’s also a lighter Kimber Micro .380 model if you’re interested.

The Micro 9 weighs a mere 15.6 ounces and measures over 6 inches in length, so you can bet it’s a good purse gun. You can also find great leather holsters for it that fit perfectly and look cool.

Shooting the Kimber Micro 9 is super fun, but the downside is that it’s really expensive, and it only has a 7-round single-stack mag capacity, which might not be enough for some.

A word of advice: stay away from Hornady Defense 115-grain ammo. It doesn’t like those as you may experience cycling malfunctions.

The difference between a regular Colt 1911 pistol and the Kimber Micro is that the Kimber is smaller, the grip frame is at a 45-degree angle, and there’s no grip safety.

The Kimber is also a bit more difficult to take down because the ejector needs to be kept down for the slide during disassembly.

While this Rosewood Stainless model is my personal pick, you can also check out the Nightfall, ESV, Eclipse, Raptor, Two-Tone, and other models with different grips, finishes, and sights.

Going online for firearms purchases opens up many choices, and every brand, model, and caliber sounds like a good idea. Of course, it will probably give you option paralysis, and you may end up settling for nothing.

Here’s a buyer’s guide to help you understand what to look for when buying a handgun.

Why Do You Need a Handgun?

Ask yourself: why do you need a gun? Is it for self-defense and home defense? Or maybe you want a handgun for the shooting range?

There are so many interesting choices; even if you don’t like the gun at first, don’t rush to switch to a new one. You can easily get used to the feel of the handgun, but it’ll take some time to form a habit.

At hunting and firing ranges, you don’t need that much manageable recoil, good drawing speed, and lightweight handguns. Self-defense firearms are a different story.

Home-defense and self-defense usually mean short-range encounters. You’re better off with a nice little Smith & Wesson Shield than a full-size Dirty Harry fame Model 29 .44 cal that can plow through armed concrete.

Compact and Subcompact Handguns

I assume that most people are looking for self-defense handguns, and if that’s the case, then we’re looking at low-recoil, lightweight, and easy-to-conceal guns.

For self-defense, there are compact pistols and subcompact pistols. Preferences vary depending on the comfort of your palms and how you conceal the weapon.

Like anything else, it takes a little bit of practice and habit, and maybe a handgun you’re not fond of initially might become a favorite.

The sole purpose of this guide is to look at self-defense and home-defense concealed carry handguns.

What to Look for When Buying a Handgun for a Woman

There are countless different handguns on the market today, and everyone has a favorite when it comes to self-defense.

What you need is a lightweight, easy-to-conceal, and reliable handgun. We recommend 9mm, full-frame, striker-fired handguns for ease of use and just enough stopping power.

When you’re browsing for handguns, here are 4 important factors to consider:

• Comfort and ease of operation
• Weight and concealability
• Recoil
• Reliability and safety features

Of course, preferences vary for everyone, but with these 4 points in mind, you’ll have an easier time picking the most suitable handgun for your needs. Regardless of gender, these are the essential factors when choosing a handgun for self-defense.

Also, check the CCW (concealed carry weapon) laws in your state, as they may vary from state to state.

Here are some frequently asked questions, important tips and tricks, and myths about concealed carry for women.

From my journey as a single mom diving into the realm of firearms, I’ve realized that the options for handguns, specifically for women, are vast and varied. Selecting the perfect one, especially if you’re only investing in a single piece, can be daunting.

If you want my advice, I say go for the Glock 43 as the best overall handgun for women.

I can’t stress enough the importance of giving a firearm a test run before committing. Please pay close attention to its concealability, ease of operation, and how it feels in your hand.
