My wife's friend (60+) owns a classic s&w chief special 38. Definitely know how to shoot and better than her sons but.... She is developing arthritis in her hands and having difficulity with the double action pull. She asked me of another handgun that has a lighter trigger pull. She has a CCW license and wants for that and home defense.
I can think of SAs like smaller 1911 type handguns but then too there is the possible problem of racking. Course I carry a Sig .380 often during summer time and when I have to dress up some. But I shoot often and am comfortable my shot placement suffices. I taught her to shoot tgt and in different scenarios but she doesn't practice. I think a 380 is wee bit small for her and am leaning towards a 9mm.
So, "yee of solid suggestions", please suggest away. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
