For someone who could have trouble with the slide and may not spend the time it takes to master an auto a snub nose or any revolver for that matter would make an a good choice. Although I like autos they are not for everyone. A revolver is easy to use and very little can go wrong with them.
I have to agree that a revolver would be her best bet. Small concealable autos are not known for easy slide manipulation. One thing that I've found is to make sure what ever revolver she gets make sure that she can pull the trigger in double action. I've had to lighten up several J frame revolvers because they couldn't fire it with two fingers on the trigger. Any competent Gunsmith can lighten the trigger pull enough for her to be able to handle double action.
Hey Jarhead!
I have been convinced on a revolver, but as to which kind, well...... You know how women are!
Not sure if I'm the jarhead you mean, but I'd suggest she handle several and see what she likes. A .357 will also handle 38 spl loads, so she could practice light, and maybe carry full .357 loads. Just a thought.
Jay,
I think he was responding to RicBak, but with so many of us here, it's hard to tell.
Semper Fi!
Jarhead is one of the nicest things any squid ever called me. Except the one who called me his son-in-law.
