[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3122778, member: 3099"] Honest advice here, no BS'ing. She'll like it just fine right up until she shoots it. The .38 snubnose is probably the hardest gun there is to shoot, at least of any gun in an effective chambering. If she's dead set on one, buy about 3 cases of target wadcutter loads and train her to hit them between the nipples. That way she might be able to train with it enough to get proficient. The +P loadings are effective but they are just brutal in the snubbies and she'll just be frustrated and turned off shooting altogether. This is a problem a lot of women have before they become "educated" in shooting. Just like my step mom, she said once "I like that little thing, I'd be able to shoot that one just fine" when she was looking at my S&W 442. Nope. Not hardly. It's not a fun gun to shoot at all. With light target full wadcutters, they will cut a clean hole in flesh and bone just like they do on paper and they are quite a bit more tolerable. [/QUOTE]
