New Purchase for Mrs. Reload999

She had never handled a firearm before so I taught her to shoot .22 with a S&W Model 422. Tried to move her up to .38 Special, but the only one I had was a 6" S&W Model 586...too heavy for her (she's 4'11" 110 lbs). She's not good at racking a heavy slide either.

So, we just got home with something else to try, a S&W Model 642. $200 of it was paid for with the rebate I got on my H&K P30L [:)].

The ruger 380 is really nice. My mom is 72 years old and the same height and weight as your wife. She shoots it like a champ and it is nice, lightweight and she can handle it well. I like the gun you bought for your wife.[;)][:)][:)][:)] Let us know how she does with it. I looked at them a few times for Donna, but she wanted a semi to carry. Oakie

Thanks, Oakie. She tried my Sig P238, but due to her inexperience, I think a revolver is best for her right now.

That is nice.
My BIL bought my sister one. Even on double action, very smooth trigger pull.

Hey Reload, how much does that revolver weigh?

I think it was advertised as 15 oz, but it's 14.4 oz on my postage scale...unloaded, of course.quote:Originally posted by mango tango
