Good Question. I'm looking for something for my wife to carry that she will be comfortable with. She has fired my .38 special and .357 magnum. She has fired my Ruger Alaskan with .45 LC, not the .454 Casull. She was okay with the .38 special and the .45 LC but both guns were too big for her to carry and trigger on the Alaskan is a bit much. (She's 71 years old.) I'm seriously considering either the S&W 351PD or the Ruger 941 in .22 mag.
I know the .22 mag. is not recommended for personal defense but she'll practice putting 7 or 8 shots into the target before checking to see if the perp is still standing. I'd rather have something she can hit the target with than a cannon she is reluctant to fire or can't fire without flinching.
Any comments?
Thanks
