I was trying to remember a nice revolver they showed us at the store a while back. It was a .380, S&W I believe the thing had like no weight to it. She wanted to look at that but also she wants to do some test firing at the range too. Should be a fun time.

Good for your wife and you! Over the holiday, my wife asked my slightly anti/neutral mother-in-law if she wanted me to take her (my mother-in-law) shooting. Her response was an enthusiastic "Yes!" As soon as it warms up, she will be going to the range with me.

Awesome news XD Fan. I love bringing new shooters to the range. I have learned after the first couple that a quick safety primer with a full weapon tear down, reassembly (to fully ensure the weapon is unloaded) and snap caps to go through safety rules, clearing jams, etc can help reduce issues and build a certain level of comfort before it is time to fire.
it also allows you to work on form, grip, etc so the first time at the range is not the first time they have actually touched the firearm.

S&W makes the bodyguard in .38special, a revolver in .380acp would be a rare thing.
This thing?

Outstanding, I have been so blessed. My wife of 26yrs as of yesterday has always been behind me on guns and hunting. As a matter of fact for Christmas this year I got a Rem 870 H/D. In the past a Browning A-Bolt and several others. She also shot her first deer this year a 8 point, 160lb Buck. Sorry for ranting, I'm just very lucky and don't say it enough.

We started my wife on a Bersa 380...traded it real quick for a 9mm, as she felt it was too wimpy....wants a Commander size 1911 .45. She started working again after 25 years about a month ago - I think we take her gun shopping soon.I'm happy for you Bro!
My first purchase for my wife was a Bersa .380. I showed her how to use...but she's never fired it. The funny thing is that my 9 year old girl ended up with it. Then last week, she told me that she wanted a Beretta or Glock. She's a real sucker for Italian stuff and brand names. Yey, another new gun for me

Congrats ... Hope she finds exactly the perfect gun for herself and enjoys shooting and the freedom of CC and may she never have to act upon it for SD, but thank God she will have the option.
My wife liked some of the info here too. www.corneredcat.com
My wife tends to like the wheel guns....
I bought her a Taurus PT58HC she likes it and Rossi .357 2"
She Liked my Taurus Tracker .41 Magnum ALOT!
