So the threads that Neon started were helpful but I am looking for a few specific recomendations to serve as a starting point as I have spent no time looking at .38s.
Looking for a gun for my wife. This could end up being a CCW. She likes my P22, it's a good size for her but does not pack enough punch. She prefers semiauto over revolver (thus why I am posting here).
She has shot my XD9 but I think outside the range it would be unwieldy for her. Also I have not settled on a specific .38 cartridge.
She is also quickly becoming a proficient shooter.
Thanks in advance
