My wife is exceptionally noise and recoil shy; more than anyone else I've trained or shot with. It's not just related to firearms, either; it's systemic across all sorts of noises and such.
I've come to the conclusion that there will be no overcoming it, largely because she is not a 'shooter', and doesn't really have the desire to work to overcome it. :banghead:
She currently shoots a Walther P22 for range fun, and does very well with it (she's a good shot, just not interested.)
With all that said, she's reluctantly agreed she needs to get her CCW, and the only weapon I'm finding that makes sense for her is the LCR in 22LR. The P22 hasn't demonstrated the reliability a carry gun would need, and I'm thinking the simpler the manual-of-arms, the better. Eight shots of 22LR is better than nothing, and I really believe that would be the alternative; if the gun's too loud, she just won't shoot/carry it.
So I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience with the LCR in 22LR, particularly in regards to reliability? And one reason I've provided all that boring background is I'm wondering if there's a gun I've overlooked, something that might fit her needs better than the Ruger?
I would appreciate any opinions-thanks!
