thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted May 9 1 hour ago, Hoss50 said: Smith & Wesson J Frame. My wife had 1 in 38spl. She has wrist issues so we sold that 1 and bought her a 22 mag S&W j Frame. No safety, no slide, no jamming. Point and shoot. I agree to a point. I see way too many carry revolvers that get neglected and won't function. Its easy to forget about if your wife is carrying it but they need to be cleaned even if they aren't being shot. If they get thrown in a purse all kinds of stuff can get in there and gunk things up. As far as being more simple to operate I 100% agree. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 9 Dang so much good information. we are going to try and enroll in some of the shooting classes at The Hub up in Pine Top, we both have shot "guns" all our lives but pistols not as much and honestly not the same amount of training as we did with rifles. According to the Hub information we will have access to used pistols there to try out, I believe simple is important as far as the pistol itself and practice, practice and more practice!!! Thanks for the input 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucafu1 Report post Posted May 9 I am a big fan of any hamerless pocket sized revolver in 38 special. I am a bigger fan of one chambered in 9mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky Island junkie Report post Posted May 9 Me and my wife had a situation a dozen years ago that tested both of our “keep it together when the crap hits the fan” levels and from that point on she hasn’t touched any of my semi autos. She has gotten really good with a 6” GP 100 357 loaded with 38s. Probably most of us guys could keep it together mentally in a heated situation but the little ladies? IDK I’m just glad my wife chose the revolver. She can always turn it into a hammer when empty! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen many men that couldn't keep it together when an opportunity came at a monster buck. Imagine the buck shooting back. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might just resemble that remark sadly! As far as the monster bucks go! I’m that guy who would probably benefit from a danged tranquilizer before touching one off on a bomber buck! But for me that’s a different set of nerves!😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a trigger job done,. It's super light and compact while very manageable even when shooting .357 rounds. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vertigodrumdonut Report post Posted May 29 My lady swears by her Glock 43, it’s compact, easy to handle, and fits right in her purse. She loves the balance and feels confident with it. Heard good things about the Sig P365 too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe hunter Report post Posted June 6 The Smith & Wesson M&P 380 EZ is a semi auto that you can rack one into the chamber with ease, two fingers. I bought one for my wife came with a safety and a green Crimson Trace laser, factory installed. Nice gun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
