I bought my wife an LCP II last year in hopes it’d be easier on for to carry. Before that I bought a Shield 9mm, which she really likes. The issue with the Shield is that it’s still slightly too heavy for her to carry consistently. I carry it occasionally during the summer, but not very often. Great gun, but I’m more comfortable with Glock pistols.
She doesn’t love the .380, shoots it well, just doesn’t particularly like it. I’ve pocket carried it before, and it’s convenient, but I don’t love it either. A fine weapon, just not for me.
I’m considering selling the LCP and getting her a .38 revolver. Looking at the LCR and a few different Smiths.
I’d like to get a .357 Model, not necessarily to shoot .357 out of much, but I feel they’ll handle the recoil of +P .38’s better.
I also like the idea of her being able to shoot through a coat pocket or purse without fear of a malfunction.
Any input on likes/dislikes on smallish revolvers for CCW? Models recommended, and/or models to avoid?
Thanks!
