glasses with strap also
in the famous Miami Dade FBI shoot out , the guy who was the best shot wore thick glasses and his glasses were lost in the crash , he from across the street could not see well enough to make the hits he would have normally easily made. dumped more than 2 mags from his S&W 9mm semi auto possibly scoring one hit in the arm of the suspect/driver/shooter taking out the other agents

For actual self defense from an attack I would say point and shoot is what to become proficient at....range will be under 7 yards. Aim for groin to minimize background issues and that will also go under most body armor and is pretty effective at stopping a threat.
No time to aim.....gun should be one that the user finds e-z to fire and will not/or minimize any malfunction's.

330 that would be the girlfriend loop hole.
If she likes the heavy weak judge she will love the serbu. Did anyone look it up? I am aware of what it is , 870 with about 6 inches of barrel and 2-3 rounds in the mag tube in 12 or 20 ga it might actually be a tiny bit more useful than a judge at the expense of another pound at least it isn't rifled but it is an AOW so there is that

Practice pointing and shooting at 5, 10, 15 yards. Shoot till the threat is eliminated
Stay away from bad areas and situations.
Practice, practice, practice
Just passin through

a person who cannot see well may have no business shooting at someone @ 35 yards..I think it is best to work within the limitations of each person. On average most folks who carry cannot hit a human at 35 yards with their handgun with any regularity.

On average most folks who carry cannot hit a human at 35 yards with their handgun with any regularity. When I was in practice, long ago, a pie plate at 100 was in my regular routine. On a good day I could keep them all in but a man sized target at that distance wasn't safe any day. This was with irons on a model 36 Chiefs Special j-frame Smith. When I switched to the 1911 I couldn't do it as the stock gi sights weren't tall enough to give a good sight picture as I had to hold a good bit of front sight above the notch. I was also burning through a few hundred rounds a month back then as well. But if you carry it is your responsibility to know how to use it under all possible scenarios or avoid those scenarios where you can't.

Warrior makes a good point about red dots this is what a red dot looks like to my phone camera this is my artist rendering of what it looks like to my eye this is on a rifle and inside 100 yards it isn't an issue just put the red startburst on the target out at 200 it gets a little harder an 8 inch steel plate is mostly covered by the dot it should only cover 4 inches but it seems to be more like 6 to me on a pistol because it is farther from the eye it isn't as star bursty to me but she should look through several before buying and see what they look like to her maybe see if you can rent a gun with a dot at a range

Nothing wrong with having 2 guns In my opinion 2 guns is the best option. I don’t care for any form of electronics on a carry/defense gun. As others have mentioned a defense situation is going to be close quarters and be a high stress situation no need to complicate the situation with gidgets and gadgets. For small/medium critter defense get a quality rimfire with a reflex sight if needed. Fun and relatively economical to shoot even in these times.
