So after hearing how a friend of hers was mugged my sister finally got a cc permit. She's got her heart set on this thing. It's .380 acp 6+1. I've already offered to give her a .38 spec + ammo and she rejected it on the grounds of "I don't want that." How do I convince her that this dinky thing isn't the way to go? And if I can't convince her, is this thing even going to help in altercation?
Tl;Dr my sister wants a meme gun for cc. How do I tell her to quit being retarded without saying "You're retarded"?
Shoot her with it and when she shrugs it off your point is proven
Take her to a range. Rent a Shield 9mm and some .380s.
Tell her to get something with actual sights at least
Weren't they already recalled?

Oh wait, that was because they didn't mark the caliber, now I remember. Still though...
Make her run laps to get her heartrate up then shoot groups.
Tell her that is how effective she can hope to be in an actual life/death scenario.
Has she held a Curve? A friend of mine wanted one, so we went to a LGS so he could see why I was giving him shit. Once in his hand, he laughed, handed it right back to the employee, then bought a G26.

Link her that webm of when the Taurus misfires when the dude shakes the pistol. Share her the knowledge that Brazil and anything and anyone from it are fucking awful shitheaps.

If she really wants a .380 take her to the range and rent every .380 they have. Popular .380s to look for if you don't want to spend all day at the range
Walther PPK
Sig p238
S&W body guard
Glock 42
If she wants something with a safety you cannot beat the Sig p238, I bought one years ago and I carried it every day until my wife got her ccp and stole it ...

Not shooting your wife for stealing your gun...
>>28298577
Meh, she got me a Rhino 200ds to replace it, so it was a fairly even trade.

By your logic, everything from the US is jammomatic trash because Lorcins and Intratecs are made there.
Everything from Germany snaps into pieces because P22s and Mosquitos are made in Kolm.
Everything Russian has an unbearable trigger because nuggets are mad--wait, no that one's true.

>implying the ppk is better than the thunder 380

Just let her get the damn Curve. Is she safer with the Curve than she is completely unarmed?
She'll practice with it, she'll practice with other guns, and then she'll switch to something better.
A shitty gun that you're comfortable with is more effective than a great gun you're just not used to.

>Is she safer with the Curve than she is completely unarmed?
no
she can't shoot herself when she's unarmed, or blow her hand off

Speaking of logic you seem to be the only one comparing a single company to entire national firearms industries.
Picrelated with crimson trace grips.

Then when she decides that she doesn't want something dangerous either have her consider your .38 revolver again or have her consider a small .380 that isn't shit.
