My wife likes to shoot with me and her favorites are my Colt Police Special (costly to feed) and her shotgun. She does fair with my semi-autos but can never get a comfortable grip. Her fingers are deliciously long and she needs lots of trigger reach. She would like her CCW... most likely will never carry on her person but we would both feel more comfortable if she had something in the car with her on road trips. In other words... full size, compact, etc. makes no difference. Hand comfort and shoot-ability are priorities.
She's handled a lot of guns looking for the right feel, and when she picked up the S&W 586 with 4" barrel, she smiled and said, "I love how this feels in my hand!"
So, I have a new revenue source coming in later this month and hers will be my next purchase. I've yet to to find a Redhawk on display anywhere, and I'd like for her to try that on for comparison... to give us the choice of Ruger over Smith. I am a little concerned about Smith's aftermarket support. Should I be? And for those who own or shoot both, what are your thoughts on these revolvers?
