Hey folks.
I've been thinking...
A few years ago I bought my girlfriend a revolver. It is a Rossi 851 .38 Special, 4" barrel with rubber finger groove grips. I bought it for her because at the time, she and I lived 20 miles away from one another and her roomate was seldom home. She has been properly trained in it's use.
Before anyone asks why I would buy her such a crappy gun, let me say that this gun belonged to a friend of mine and it shot like a house a'fire before I traded for it. It has been nothing but accurate and reliable in her hands for the past four years. She handles it like a champ.
Well... I will be putting a ring on her finger very soon. I figure, if she is good enough to be my wife she deserves a better weapon.
I want to upgrade her to a S&W .357 of some sort.
She is a small girl, 5"4" 100 lbs. She lacks upper body strength, so my beloved model 28-2 (N-frame) is out. I am thinking that a round butt 4" model 19 would be the best idea.
My question is this: In the realm of S&W revolvers, what would YOU choose for your special lady?
Again, bear in mind that she can't hold a large gun steady for long. I want something that is close in size to the gun she has now.
Thanks.
