I was thinking about a Taurus 605 to serve a dual purpose:
01. Let the wife practice and carry a snub, lightweight .38 for her CCW.
02. I would finally have a .357 to shoot.
After spending a day or two reading up, I've encountered 2 counter issues that I need more opinions on:
01. Reading that as a personal protection round, the .38 doesnt make a lot of people comfortable, and that I'd be better suited with a 9mm or <
02. Shooting this small snub .357 (the 605) is unappealing to shoot. Kicks too much and just isn't any fun
These both hit home because I want her to have a caliber to practice with enough to get good (without breaking the bank. And soemthing that I feel she is protecting her life with.
I am pretty much dead set on a revolver due to the fact that she has a hard time racking a slide on a semi-auto. She get's the hang of it, but if she doesn't pick up the pistol, she goes back to having trouble getting that first round chambered.
Your thoughts? (i am having trouble finding a 9mm revolver in the right size....and I really don't know enough abotu moonclips to know if they're a pain in the ass?)
