She could do both so trying to convince that a Ruger LCP might be a better, cheaper choice was an exercise in futility. Know when to hold em, know when to fold em.
It's a silly-ass bias of mine, but despite my regard for Mittel Europische hand guns (Germany and the Czechs), I hate the way Glocks look. She also picked a hard plastic IWB holster against my advice. I use a Remora and it works great even with my normal attire of exercise shorts with an elastic waistband. She'll find out the hard way.
