Bought my first revolver today
Well, almost. Back in the early 70's I worked a college internship for a paper company running timber lines and had an old Colt Trooper to carry in the woods.
Anyway, the wife suddenly decided yesterday she wanted to go ahead and get her own gun and a CHL. She shoots my small frame autos (.22, .25 and .380) ok but doesn't like the full size pistols. She's had Rhumatoid Arthritis for about 10 years and I was a little worried that she wouldn't have the hand strength to clear a malfunction. I took her shopping and showed her a couple of small revolvers and she decided on a 2" shrouded hammer revolver. Today I finally found a Taurus 650 that seemed ok, it's heavier and designed for the .357 so that should help her get used to shooting .38 Sp. loads.
We tried a bunch of Smiths but, believe it or not, the Taurus trigger pull seemed better than all of them. We'll be off to the range tomorrow to try it out.
Spelling edited for all the mistake free people. I was so excited that after 29 years of marriage has decided she needed her own pistol that I guess I forgot to proof read.
