There is a distressing lack of attention to the female market in gun companies. I want something with accuracy and stopping power, but also, an attractive exterior casing that easily integrates with my other accessories. This doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Because when she feels paranoid and sure that the guy across the street is about to hurt her, she has to look good shooting him, damn it. WTF?
