re: Smallish caliber pistol

Did this a few years back with my wife, also a school teacher. The Smith and Wesson 380 M&P Shield EZ is something she can operate, has the handle grip safety, as well. Very accurate shooting at the range. comfortable in her hand, easy to rack ammo, and large enough capacity magazine to handle misses if nervous having to protect herself.

It sucks that she is so clumsy and lost it while boating.
