home protection handgun
son just call me for advice on getting a handgun for home protection. he is looking for something his wife could handle also. son has handled my revolvers before. 44 and 41 mags. his wife has never handled a handgun before. I suggested a revolver in 22 or 38 spl. also take her to a range and let her shoot both and see what she is comfortable with. semi's are probably not the best for a beginner. what do you some of you think of this advise? as most of you know ive been on this site for a long while and grew up around guns. I put my faith in the shotgun. my son is not familiar with semis as well as me. I sold guns in a sporting goods store and was more familiar with revolvers. he has kids and wants something he can keep away from the kids sight. I recommended a 357 with a 4 inch barrel and loaded with 38"s. much more simplier to use for him and the wife.
