And there are no stronger hands than a lioness protecting her cubs.
I am a woman, that I am sure so if you ask me, I'll tell you not to go out and buy me a gun. I want to choose the gun I am going to have, not be chosen for me. I like to feel it in my hands, see if it fits, how well I can hold it...if it is a present, then I will let you pay for it.
But then, what do I know? I chose my two guns, a Glock 23 which is my primary carry and a Bersa Thunder 380, my BUG. I am happy with both and I paid for them both. Christmas will be easy this year for dearest hubby to chose a gift for me. I want upgrades to my Glock.
Hope the OP is rethinking this based on the good info above. Is he still around?Need a snubby revolver for my wife.... Most likely a .38, used for home defense.
Yeah, but she's shooting well IN SPITE OF the trigger. And I wouldn't call just managing to get on the target at 20 feet accurate, I'd call that acceptable for a new shooter. The fact is, a heavy trigger pull does negatively affect accuracy. This is magnified in inexperienced shooters and people with weak hands."Strong, yeah sure, but accurate with a small revolver? Maybe with a great deal of practice."
With the Crimson Trace grip she was shooting 100% CM at 20+ feet immediately. I mean, the first 5 shots and the next 25 were all CM, and it was only the 2nd time she'd ever shot a snub.
And did the same with a hard-pull, 9mm SIGMA and laser.
Best thing I've ever done for her and the guns she uses for SD.
The Ruger LCR. It weighs in at a mere 13.5 oz empty. My wife has one with a laser and she hated the gun at first because of the recoil. I had her practice with wadcutters and then move up to .38 special which has less recoil than the +P. The LCR is in the <$500 range but the laser presently adds >$160 to the price.
