My wife favored a short-berreled S&W Model 66 revolver, when I met her in 1997. Somehow, her brother ended up with that gun, but she still favors S&W revolvers, J-, K-, and N-Frame, all of which she does carry, in differing situations. She used to be a Forensic Investigator, for the Medical Examiner, in Harris County, Texas, so, investigated plenty of death scenes, and knows whether revolvers were causing folks to get kilt in the streets. (Most of Houston lies within Harris County.)
I tend to carry revolving pistols, myself, so, do not feel that my wife is carrying insufficient weapons.
