All these years and I can happily report I finally have my wife shooting a handgun she is not intimidated by, a well worn 4" .38 revolver. I did not invest much for fear of another disappointment. Over our 25 years together she has rejected all my autos no matter what I spent on them.
It is time to buy something of quality and substance for her. This would be a house gun for her so no concerns about carrying. Since there was success with the .38 I would like to purchase a .357 so she can work up to it if desired. For the money I like Rugers. The SP101 and GP100 are top of the current list. I like the GP for the 6 shot capacity and being a heavier gun I assume it would have a lesser recoil with the same loads. I like 4" for a house / range gun. I fear 6" might be heavy out front?
We have been working on DA and SA shooting. She likes to plink a little using SA but that and all above means little if it has a heavy or gritty DA trigger.
Are we on the right track?
