I married into a gun culture family - the wife had her CHL at 21, grew up shooting shotguns, semi-auto pistols, and rifles. I've quickly started by my own guns and she has expressed interest in getting a revolver. She enjoys shooting my XD45 and even our Taurus pt111 (least favorite gun, hand-me-down from FIL), however, semi-auto's intimidate her due to the amount of moving parts, safeties, etc etc.
So I'm looking for something that has a carry-able weight and size to it (purse probably), moderate trigger weight, and ease of use/safety for her confidence. Not sure on caliber - does .38 special sound like a good self defense round without too much kick?
We'll eventually go to a shop/range to check a few out, but I like to ask the stupid questions on the internet first so that I don't look completely moronic when I'm face to face with someone that does this for a living.
cheers - Michael
