Hello, hoping for advice on a handgun for my mom (in her 70s)
She will probably go to the range a few times, then leave in her nightstand for peace of mind
I was thinking revolver for simplicity.
Guy at cabelas was pretty strongly pushing away due to trigger pull and kick.
He was suggesting an an S&W MP shield EZ in 380.
It did seem really easy to actuate, and 380 does kick less than 38 spl.
Seems alot of complaints around that model though (cycling issues and stovepipe complaints seem to be all over the web), anyone have thoughts on easy to work pistols for a lady in her 70s?
Probably limiting to 380 or maybe a 9 due to kick.
Alternative is shoot 38s out of a smaller 357. Probably avoid the internal hammers due to trigger pull.
Thanks in advance!
I mainly duck hunt, so not a big pistol shooter, any advice welcome.
