I am sure this has been asked so I am sorry if it is a repeat. I have shot guns my entire life but after a little event the other evening at dinner in Indy, I find myself needing to teach my wife to shoot a handgun and carry safely.
My dilemma is, what should a lady start with. I have 22 revolvers but I am looking at getting her either a .38 revolver or else a Ruger SR9. I kind of want an SR40 for myself and thought the 9 might work well for a lady to learn.
Is the 40 too much for a petite lady? How about the 9? Any advice appreciated. I just don't want to take her out and have her get knocked down or her nose broke and never want to shoot again....although I chuckled as I typed that, how terrible
