Eitherway, if you already have an AR, then get her an AR too....Same Mags, Same ammo, interchangable kit capabilities, same spare parts, same knowledge/tools/experience to maintain.
No need buying a SLR-8 (HK Civi G36), mini-14 (Good rifles though), etc. and then having to buy a whole new set of mags, spare parts, etc.
Gun and gear compatability is just plain good sense.

Good points, I wasn't really thinking about commonality of accessories though that's a very good idea. I was considering the Bushmaster Carbon 15 R97F Rifle because it's light weight and I'm very familiar with AR's, but I've read some pretty negative opinions on Carbon AR's. My only experience was firing one about 7 years ago, anyone done much with them?

Rock River also offers "pistol versions " of the car in 9mm that would cut down on the weight factor..
Just a suggestion. I personally really enjoy mine. My gf loves it,,,

I have, I was just kind of hoping for something in 40 or better with the price of 9mm ammo now and I've had good luck finding brass 40 for only 2 bucks more per box and God forbid she have to use it on someone I'd rather have her shooting 40 for the stopping power. Olympic arms makes one but I don't know much about Olympic, still doing the research on them.
