occasionally the wifey goes to the range with me to shoot. however, she has problems loading mags (especially the 10-rd glock mags), operating the slide, and controlling the recoil (usp and g35 in .40).
a few weeks ago we rented some 4" 357 revolver for her and she put a box of 38sp through it. she did noticeably better with it, both handling and shooting.
i'm not up to speed on the current revolver models and could use some suggestions as to what revolver to buy her. here are some parameters:
- no ccw (we live in the PRK)
- used for home defense and range training
- reasonably priced
- in a caliber that's effective but she can still control
- reasonable size (i.e. not a tiny pocket gun, not a dirty harry gun)
i'm thinking something with a 3 - 4" barrel in .357 cal that she can shoot .38 through.
alternatively, if you know of somebody who had similar issues with an auto, did you find another auto that worked, e.g. a smaller .380 or something?
appreciate your comments and suggestions.
