I am puzzling at choosing a firearm for H.D. for my wife.
NO semi-automatic handguns. She can not rack the slide on any semi-auto I have offered her. I guess she lacks the necessary hand and wrist strength. She has had carpel tunnel surgery in both of her wrists.
She lacks the strength to fire a j-frame revolver she currently has double action.
She says she prefers the Model 10 although I am concerned about her lack of hand strength. Maybe a pencil barrel Model 10?
Did I mention NO semi-automatic handguns?
She can handled and shoot Ruger Vaqueros just fine which is a little bit of a puzzler since she does it one handed from the back of moving horse. The problem with a single action revolver is safey decocking it under stress which leads her to state she might just as well shoot him if she has to cock it.
Favorite shotgun is a H&R single shot shotgun 12 ga.
What are some suggestion?
K frame revolver with a lighter tuned action by a good gunsmith?
Cut the barrel down on the H&R for use in the home? Very affordable and that 12 ga. bore in legendary.
She has short arms. How about a AR with adjustable stock and short barrel?
Unfortunately it looks like I am being forced to move back into town as the bank is getting the farm so rifle caliber such as 223/308 is out of the question.
Maybe a 9mm AR style.
NO High Point. I believe in buying high quality firearms although I do not want a custom gun.
