Been shopping around for a handgun for my mother-in-law.
Here's the scenario: Single woman in her late 60s looking for a gun primarily to protect an isolated vacation home. I feel safe to say that she is not interested in CCW.
More than likely she will not train with it either. It will sit around and primarily function as a talisman, making her feel safer. (I know, FAR from ideal...)
She has little or no experience shooting, but long ago when her husband was alive there was a snubby in the house. It's now long gone.
She will not want to spend a lot.
Given these parameters, I'm thinking a 4" .38, most likely a LEO trade-in K frame (eg. Models 10/15/64) or Service Six.
Thoughts?
