I currently own a Glock 19 and a S&W model 66. I am currently looking to buy a revolver for my wife, I am in the military so when I deploy I like having the peace of mind that she is able to defend herself (will be moving to Illinois next week so this is for home defense only). I have only taken her shooting twice, surprisingly she is a pretty good shot, and she had fun so things are good to go there.
I am looking at either getting her a "2" or "3" Ruger SP101 or a S&W Model 60. Of course it will be to her liking and fitting, but I am just wondering if a "3" would be better for her since the recoil would probably be less pronounced as opposed to the snubby. Some of you may be asking why not just let her just have the 66... Well, it was my father's and I plan on babying that thing...although she will be using that until we get the 2nd revolver. So which model and size revolver should I go with?
