[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2578007, member: 711"] There are people, and of both genders, who are mechanically challenged or completely uninterested in anything gun related except the ability to defend themselves if it is necessary. My wife is utterly uninterested in guns, but can shoot a hand sized group at 20 feet with her Smith 66 snub. She also has a KelTec P380 that she shoots well, and because of its simplicity of operation she carries it when the 66 is too much. I can hound her to the range about once a year. These people, if they have it in their heart to take a human life, need a moderately powerful DA revolver in the largest size they are comfortable with carrying. They need to go to the range on a regular basis, but not very often. They need expert training in how to shoot and maintain the weapon. They most assuredly do not need any of the "complexities" involving even the simplest semi auto, although my wife has taken my KelTec and made it her own. They certainly don't need a .22 because although cows and gators can die from them, this requires precision most don't have in an encounter with a deadly threat. Again, for non "gun people," good training with a revolver, and I recommend DA only, will suffice. For any new shooter, and gender is not important here, they need what they are comfortable with, and let me agree strongly that spousal training is fraught with risk. Pay a pro. [/QUOTE]
