My 50 year old mother wants to get a pistol for range shooting and protection. What should I recommend she try out?
She's never owned her own gun before.
My parents bought my mom a rossi 38 special for carry after we got driven out of a bum ass town by the druggies and the only cop
You should work on your grammar and also read the sticky: found at the top of the front page.
I hope that helped and also sage.

Take her to the range and let her try out some pistols.
Hammerless snubnose .38, like we suggest every single time this comes up.
Honorable mentions to Glock 19, Bersa Thunder, Shield, LC9s Pro, etc.
Revolver, snub nose, 22 or maybe 38 if she's up for it, with some kind of drop or manual mechanical safety.
Sign her up for range training classes and go with her at least until she gets it down

How strong are her wrists?
If they're weak, get her a wheelgun.
If not, get her a semiautomatic.
Obrez.

Underrated post.

smaller caliber like 9mm or 380, recommend not getting a tiny 9 right away because the short barrel makes the recoil a son of a bitch and they arent fun to shoot at all. Feel like it will give a bad experience.

One does not simply buy an Obrez

VP9, its comfortable and easy to use , and she can probably work the slide, or get her a gp100, if she is CCW then Sig 238

Ruger LCR. Recoil is easy, price is low, and she can't limp-wrist or otherwise fail to manipulate it under stress.

A K-frame or something similar would be perfect for her.
