"Gunslingers" Chime In..Handgun For Wife

Joe, thank you so much for your input; it's greatly appreciated. With the job I do I am in the position of, " There is no such thing as too much safety". I carry that over to most everything. Wife will get training in the use of the .38 Snubnose and if I'm in town will attend. The weapon is home defense only ( at this time ) and I want the wife to expect and deal with the recoil if, God forbid, it becomes necessary. As with the shotgun, she was "surprised" at the recoil of 7/8 oz loads ( not in the pipe now ) so I want her to expect the recoil of a pistol and not be unwilling to fire the other 4 rounds.

Next we work on using the speedloader. Then.......
