Decision To Own A Handgun

I bought the wife an SR 22 (she picked it out). She's a decent shot but I told her, if you're threatened enough to use it, empty the magazine. Then they can't shoot you with it and even if you don't hit them once, you're making enough noise to bring someone running and probably send someone running. She's actually a decent shot. She just told me the other day she wants to shoot some more!
I just finished an 80% 1911 and she's asked about shooting it.

I wish they offered the SR 22 in a .22 mag.
