Recomms…

Talking w a guy friend of mine, and wanted more opinions on brand of guns. I’ve heard that different brands are more reliable than others as far as jamming etc. do you guys have any good recommendations on hand guns specifically. Gun laws in NC arent so strict these days, and I’m currently in the process of moving out on my own and a gun seems very necessary for a girl like me especially w this new administration emboldening hateful behavior.
