.22LR Snub Nose Revolver

Would she consider a revolver chambered in .22 Magnum?

I would stay away from 22 magnum in a handgun. You don't gain a lot in stopping power but you will get more expensive ammo and big muzzle blast. Muzzle blast bother shooters more than recoil.

Another thought is that even the nice S&W .22 revolvers have a heavier double action pull than the equivalent frame center fire guns. So again this points towards a softer power .38Spl gun and ammo up to a level of recoil that she can tolerate. A really hard trigger pull in the hands of a shooter with only a little practice that is grudginly and occasionally taken is a great combo for missing shots.

It also comes back to how involved with her shooting she is willing to get into. The MOA of a lot of the guns mentioned has more details than a simple hammerless DA only revolver. And with less to think about she can put more attention onto the situation both for practice and during any sort of actual encounter.

Obviously if it turns out that she really enjoys shooting both as a sport as well as a self defense option then she will likely practice enough and take a keen enough intrest in the gun(s) enough to make whatever option useable and natural even under stress. So that'll affect the options as well.

Well we shot 150rds yesterday and found that she was vary good with the glock. Not my favorite handgun but she likes it and one should not look a gift horse in the mouth. We had a friend of ours that does CCW classes with us, and said she would have no problem getting her CPL. So this case is closed for now anyways.

Re: the Taurus 941. If the trigger rebound spring is replaced but not the main spring, it will still be as reliable as ever but with a noticably lighter trigger pull.
