That's Falia from faliaphotography: http://www.youtube.com/user/faliaphotography
She has a lot of good stuff for women on there. Her vid on how to pick a first gun was very helpful for my wife.

Excellent. I'll pass this on to the women I teach CCW.
Always looking for well done, informed videos to show to the class.

She has several videos on Youtube. My wife watched several when trying to decide on a holster or two. Her reviews were very helpful......and I didn't mind watching either....just to verify the information....

seeking CCW recommendations
Greetings Pistol Shooters,
I currently use a Glock 9 mm as my concealed carry weapon, but find it too bulky. I seek your recommendations for a better choice. I viewed the video on holsters and liked those options for housing the weapon. However, I need a new weapon before seeking a holster. I am 5'5", weigh 116 pounds and have small hands, so I do not have any places to hide a large pistol, nor the ability to comfortably hold a fat grip.
I am also looking to purchase a reloader for 9 mm ammo. I shoot local matches with a Springfield Armory XDM 9 mm 5.25 and need to keep my costs down.
May I hear your suggestions for this new equipment please? Thanks, cgcyclist

Did you check out the videos in the links above. She is even smaller than you.

Check into XDs, I hear there is a 9mm model coming!
My wife likes my XDs in .45.

Nice piece.
That link is to the XD Subcompact though, not the XDS.
http://xdspistol.com/
Not showing the XDS in 9mm on the SA website yet though.
All other things being equal, I think I would rather have 6 rounds of .45 ACP than 8 rounds of 9x19, unless the recoil was difficult to manage in the .45.

Wife likes the XDm 5.25 9mm, waiting on the XDs 9mm to become available for her CC.
Both of us are using Grip exercisers for better performance using the XDs .45.
Played with a HP .45 w 5" barrel yesterday - I see why TS likes them so much. (but I can buy a set of Springfield's for that HP price...).

You mean HK? They are pricey but that's what the best pistol in the world costs!
