Trying to decide on a carry gun for my wife, her 6in 357 just wont work! Anyway, a guy at the LGS actually recomended a 22lr and it got me thinking. Now I realize its not an ideal manstopper, but if its light and she will carry it..... well thats a n advantage. However with the ammo situation being what it is, then maybe something reloadable makes more sense ie more practice. She does have small hands and is proficient with a revolver.Sorry if this has been kicked around before, Im sure it has, just wondering what you guys think. I'm planning on letting her get some range time with a 9mm auto, but the one I have is a 459 smith and the grips are, well, you know. I have to plan a purchase wisely due to finances, and if she takes to the semi auto, then there will be more choices and we may go and rent some different models. anyway thanks ahead of time.
