A couple of women in my community asked me about having a gun for protection, they live alone. (neither had any experience at all with firearms)
I had them over and spent the first 45 minutes on safety, proper handling and storage. One was fine with my P365, the other couldn't rack the slide on
the P365 or even my tiny KelTec .32, I've suggested a .38 Spl revolver for her. She asked about a shotgun because she was able to use the slide without difficulty, however, I explained the recoil may be a problem for her. I suggested she go to a range and take an introductory course and try both a revolver and perhaps the S&W MP EZ. Thoughts?
