So I got this Sr22 and when I showed my mom, she said she liked it, and had been wanting a gun to carry in her purse. She said she liked that it was small (not that unsual) but she also said she liked that the frame is skinny. So I've been looking for similar guns, I need something in at least .380 or 9mm , that fits her liking. All I have found so far is ruger lc380, any suggestions?
TL;DR need a gun that has similar demensions to an Sr22 chambered in at least .380

if she's going to carry in a purse, the size isn't that much of a problem, get her a 1911, those are slim and you can easily fit one in a purse, longer barrel, decent weight, not very snappy cartridge (45), perfect for beginner to aim and control

shes a novice and a woman, im not saying thats not a good choice for a woman, but for her, a 1911 would be a little much

There's not size carry restriction which since she wants to put it in her purse.
If anything; compacts/subcompacts with shorter barrels and snappier recoil are much more difficult for beginners to use effectively than longer heavier guns.
Maybe not necessarily a "1911" specifically, but you might consider looking at more fullsizes in general.
"carrying" isn't an issue since it'll be in her purse not an IWB, just take her to the range and see what she feels good shooting, that's going to be much more important than how it looks or how big it is due to the carry method (bag vs hip) you have a LOT more options than looking for a waist carry cc.

ok, thats a good point. care to suggest the gun(s) you had in mind? im seriously lost right now

"random person on the internet's" suggestions aren't going to be useful here. By the sound of it, she doesn't shoot much (or at all), she probably doesn't even really know what she "needs" in a gun.
Take her to some lgs and ranges and try some things out, that's your best bet. And what I'm saying is try some of the bigger stuff out, don't restrict to "small stuff, because she likes small guns", if size isn't a carry issue, it's a ridiculous thing to restrict your options based on. A gun's purpose is to be effective when you need too use it, if you can be more effective with something bigger and have the means to bring something bigger, it's a no-brainer not to.

Makarov with dick grips and its chambered in 9x18mm.
Alternative is the Walter PK-380
>>28088086
What about a Glock 26? It's subcompact, has a slim profile, available in 9mm, and hardly has any recoil.
>>28088852
It has a fat frame though. You'd need a single stack.
Bersa Thunder .380
