My fiance wants to get a pistol but she has a problem pulling the slide back on semi autos so im thinking a revolver in 380. Anybody know of a good small one for like a purse that wont break the bank?
My wife can't pull back an auto slide to save her life (no pun intended). I ended up getting her one of these which she really likes (light, comfortable to shoot) and..... it's pink Charter Arms .38.
In all honesty your putting the cart before the horse. Have her take a basic pistol class and go from there. Let her shoot some guns and make her own decision on what she is comfortable with.Also watch this video and it will give you more info on what I'm talking abouthttp://concealedcarryconfidence.org/concealed-carry-and-concealment-gear-and-education/?gclid=CIj7heiu5ssCFQ6maQodGw0JNg
Take her to a gun store with a range, no matter how hard we try it will surprise you how often we get it wrong when trying to pick a gun for our ladies. They are like shoes, let them try them on and answer if that's what you like..... Also, Not to Jack the thread , but...is she trying to work the slides on new guns at the stores? They can be stiff and if she is new it can take time to learn which techniques work best for her.
If you are wanting one she'd enjoy taking to the range and shoo,t I'd avoid the Airweight's and LCR's. If she has issues with hand strength, I'm going to generalize and say that she probably won't like the recoil of those revolvers. An all steel "J" frame S&W or a Ruger SP101 would be where to start looking.
There is no need to lug around a steel brick anymore.
