If you have a selection, you could let her fondle and shoot one of your guns!Take her to a gun store and let her see what she likes. Let her fondle and shoot some different guns.
thank you
This is a nice choice! Saw these in print and recently looked one over for my Wifey! Ruger makes a winner on Semi autos, and this is it! Anyway, I could get mt S&W 442 back, remove the pink grips, and hide the pink holster it rests in. Geesh, I miss that revolver as a manly gun with factory grips and a T adapter in a leather Bianchi IWB holster on my hip!My daughter in law was a first time shooter of handguns. I let her shoot my 22lr, 38 Special, 9mm. She is very recoil sensitive person.
She wanted the 22lr. I took her to the gunshop she handled several. She ended up buying a Ruger LCP II 22lr.
She has shot it several thousand rds and feels like she's ready to go up to a 380acp. I told her to get the new Ruger Security 380 with the 15rd magazine.
Reason for that is because she's recoil sensitive and a smaller 380acp has pretty stout recoil.

Accuracy problems due to recoil anticipation are not due to the calibre of the round, or the size of the gun. Accuracy problems with handguns mostly appear when one tries to stage the trigger in a revolver, or DA/DAO pistol. The proper way to pull a DA trigger is one completely smooth continuous pull to the rear. Staging is a mistake waiting to happen. If you have not commited to disharging said round, get your booger picker off the damn trigger!Best Wife EDC Gun?
My wife currently has a S&W 642 Air weight revolver in 38sp for her carry gun. When she shoots it, she has trouble accuracy issues, possibly due to anticipating the recoil. Would a smaller caliber be better, or just more practice? What do your wives carry and like?www.indianagunowners.com

Better choice for what? Manual of arms? Ease of use? If your semi-auto fails to fire, you must first analyze the problem, then know how to address which ever problem you may be encountering at that time. If my revolver fails to fire, I simply have to pull the trigger again. Mostly. The modern semi-auto is, for the most part, a fantastic gun. It is indeed a better choice for a lot of people. To call it a blanket, always, 'so much better choice' for everyone is simply not valid. The revolver is still a good platform. Like any other gun, you have to know how to run it.Thanks for the advice!
Those weren't my posts. They were links to another larger thread of similar nature. I have a post with my recommendation in that thread.
I would not recommend a revolver to any new shooter. Today's semi-autos are a so much better choice.

Nobody is saying that people can't shoot revolvers. Just that they are not the best choice for a new shooter. Light snubs are hard to get effective hits with at anything other than bad breath distance for new shooters, and they are unpleasant to shoot with anything other than powder puff wadcutter loads. They are limited in capacity, and the sights generally suck compared to a semiauto of the same size.I can't possibly be the only one left who can shoot one.
