But not as goo as one with six shots an a lighter trigger.S&W 60 would be another good option.
I have one.

If she ever had to sop a violent attacker once, I suspect that she would not.If she ever shot an LCR with 22 Stingers, I suspect she would be quite satisfied.
Or not...Have her try it out first.
Actually, most women I know who have tried ot different guns under the guidance of an instructor have ended up buying semi-automatics.Get her a glock 42 or 43 or the smith shield in 9mm, a snub nose revolver sucks for most people using one and yes I use one.
Exactly.Revolvers are harder to shoot so make sure the "simplicity" out weighs a system that is easier to shoot.

The Kimber and the Colt have superb triggers.
The trigger on my J-frame was terrible in comparison.
Good point. The LCR 22 triggers are nothing like the centerfire LCR triggers.The LCR .22, 22 mag have very stiff triggers. I would not recommend them. I owned the 22 mag for 2 months and sold it. I had purchased the 38 LCR at the same time. The trigger on the 38 was vastly superior.
Take your wife to the gun store.
Go in with her.
Tell the person behind the counter your wife wants a revolver for self-defense & that you'll be back in an hour to pay for it.
Go grab a cup of coffee somewhere & let her decide what she wants.

I am not recommending a semi-auto. I am recommending trying several guns in the company of an instructor.
Exactly.
Sounds like the type of person the Smith EZ shield was made for. My mother have severe arthritis and could not reliably pull the trigger on her Taurus 905 anymore so my brother and I went in half on an ez sheild and she loves being able to load the mags and rack the slide.Yes and yes. My wife does not have particularly weak hands but she can barely manage a da pull on either of the J-frame revolvers I (we) currently own. So we set off on a search for a revolver that she could easily pull the trigger of in da mode. After squeezing many triggers on many revolvers at several gun shops over a couple of months or so, two candidates emerged: the Kimber and the Colt Cobra/King Cobra. Both revolvers have great triggers but we opted for a King Cobra. What a sweet trigger pull!
You beat me to it!Gun for wife
Sounds like good trade to me.
I'll be here all week!
Don't forget to tip your servers!

I would have her shoot a 3” sp101 with some .38’s as suggested above. Try before buy, unless you want to inherit her cast offs from the process .
