re: Is a .38 revolver a good gun for a woman?

How about he or someone just teached his wife the correct way to shoot therefore that isn't an issue. It is silly to choose an inferior weapon due to bad shooting technique instead of learning proper shooting technique and choosing the better weapon. It literally takes one trip to the range to correct limp wristing

This. I will never understand it, but many on here seem to think that women are incapable of learning a platform just as fast a man is. If your wife or you for that matter, will be carrying a weapon that you may have to use to defend your life, you owe it to yourself and the people around you to become extremely proficient with your weapon and get proper and adequate training as well as making shooting a part of your life. You should shoot at least a couple times a month.

"Well we just don't have the time for that."

Well, you shouldn't be conceal carrying then. Your wife shouldn't be either if your excuse for her to carry a snub nose airweight revolver is because "theyre easier to operate" or she "may limp wrist it". That's pretty irresponsible on your part to not have experience with a weapon you actually intend to carry that can inflict deadly force if needed. It's scary to think that someone's wife will get a gun, put one magazine through it and then proceed to carry it with the intention of using it as self defense.
