I am a huge fan of Used Police Trade in guns.
Especially Medium Frame Revolvers such as a dedicated .38spl like a Model 10 (blue) or Model 64 ( stainless).
Especially for home/indoor use.
The .38spl special, is a low pressure round, this not only "helps" with hearing protection also assists in Listening to BGs in the structure and Communication with others in the structure.
Yes I know what the wife said and I respect her wishes.
Then again as a responsible firearm owner, and southern gentleman, there is a proper way to respectfully disagree with a lady.
One does this being civil, polite, while being firm and assertive.
Both of you need to find a trusted, seasoned shooter, such as a LEO and sincerely ask, to be shown, and try some guns.
Oh I know I about ladies should speak with other ladies, hell, I was suggesting this before some around here were a itch in their daddy's britches or even knew what a firearm was or had shot one.
Truth is, this is a "couple" situation, these two are a "team", and therefore team tactics apply.
Too many folks around THR, have home guns set up for the smallest person in the home.
"Small" is not derogatory, Instead in the context of "fit" to shooter.
Oh I am big on gun fit, the reality is a bigger person can effectively use a smaller gun, where a smaller cannot effectively use a bigger gun.
This small person might be the husband in a wheelchair, or petite wife, teenage kids.
141/2" LOP ( length of pull) ain't gonna work, and I don't care if the guy is 200# in a wheel chair.
Nor will it work for someone that needs a 12 1/2 - 13" LOP , like a teenager.
Don't ask me what I think of AR stocks that adjust, or ones with pistol grips, unless you play by big boy , big girl rules as my take is pretty "coarse, terse, and direct".
This .38spl revolver, is NOT to be a snubby. Hell No.
A 3" is THE best combat revolver handgun bbl length there is, period!
4" will be fine, be great to learn on, fine for home use, range use, even small game hunting ( rabbits for example).
Handgun in a home.
Yes I have my take on rifles and shotguns, and the fact is I can debate one and be better at their choice than they are, I have done it too many times.
This is a young couple on a budget, concerned about "Home".
Anyone remember what those Model 64 3" HB RB guns on Internet were going for lately?
This is a perfect gun for this couple.
-Safe MOA (manual of arms)
-Price point
-Not dependent on mags and ammunition to run
(saves money on not having to have mags right off the bat)
-Stocks are easy to get to tweak gun fit.
-No slide to hang up or get caught on bedding, sofa, chair, wall, door frame, carpet on the floor.
In a structure, one answers the door, or if evil comes in, and matters get serious, that revolver, with a 3" bbl, is difficult to grab and take away.
They (evil) might be over the bed, and from bad breath distance, matters go rodeo.
At the door, that gun is concealed, either by him or her.
Evil forces there way in, that revolver is point and shoot.
Get surprised and take that bottle of water and hit the forehead of evil , and shoot from retention ( gun close to body).
-If one learns to shoot a revolver double action only ( DAO) they will become a better shooter period.
Correct basics ingrained will transition to other guns, and in this case, that Ruger .22 will be shot better.
In the home, using rules of safety, one can dryfire that .38spl revolver.
Put a dime on the front sight/ atop barrel and pull the trigger, all 6 times and the idea being to not have the dime fall off.
Trigger control, smooth, and easy.
Do this same drill with the sights really being acquired, and now trigger and sight acquisition is being instilled.
Speed comes from repetition of these two simple drills.
I assure you this dry fire practice will reap huge benefits at the range with live fire.
It will even reveal itself in shooting that Ruger, as the trigger use and sight use will transition.
Just part of my reason for suggesting this couple, find a seasoned shooter, one that knows revolvers, to let them shoot a Medium Frame revolver.
I like Colt Detective Specials, they carry like a J frame and feel like a K frame, being respectful, these cost more money, do require gunsmith that really knows Colts and stock options to tweak fit are less in offerings.
Ideally, a retired LEO, like a Sheriff Deputy that carried and shot revolvers, and had to quality at 50 yards, not feet, yards is the one this couple needs to meet up with , and get a relationship established with.
Private lessons - are proven, so are couples just like this one, doing as I have shared.
These seasoned folks, are really neat folks, and what they can pass forward is worth a lot, and not just in shooting.
How to stay safe - period!
They can assist in checking out a gun, getting the house more secure, lessons, practiced plans and so much more.
Just me, we need to clone more of these Old Timers (said with respect) as we really more of them to assist folks, and pass forward yesteryear to folks.
A handgun allows one to have a gun on person or "right there" concealed.
One has to enter, exit a structure and answer the door.
It might just be carrying in groceries, working in the yard, working on a lawnmower, cleaning the garage or carport...etc.
One cannot sling a long gun and mow the yard, or work in the yard, or while carrying in groceries or...
