Hey guys, I'm in need of some advice. I'm looking to pick up a pistol for my wife. Something we can keep in the house that she has access to when I'm not home. It would most likely see very little time as a carry piece if any at all.
The problem is that my wife in tiny...5' tall and like 100 pounds, tiny hands...she's also not very mechanically inclined, so I'm kind of ruling out semi autos (she has a hard time racking my USPc 9mm). Also, she has zero experience with firearms and has never fired one (she's super girly). I'm pretty sure she's not going to enjoy going to the range and practicing...could be wrong but, I doubt it.
I know I have to let her pick what fits her hands best and what feels right but, I'd like to at least go into the shop with 5 or 6 choices to get her started.
I'm thinking I should most likely let her choose a nice little 22 so she can practice and build her comfort level but, I really would like to get her something with more stopping power ASAP.
I can easily see a S&W 442 fitting her perfect but, I hear they are no fun to shoot. Maybe a Ruger SP101 in .357...let her shoot 38's at the range?
Any ideas?
