My wife is interested in getting her concealed carry permit. I only have one handgun that could be considered a CCW, a Ruger LCP w/crimson trace. She has shot it a few times, and can tolerate the recoil, but has a bit of a hard time working the slide. That has us looking more towards a small revolver. She likes the look of the LCR. I'd say she can handle .38 spl recoil, but she also likes the idea of the new .22wmr model. Should you use a .22wmr for self defense? I want to let her handle a few guns and see what she likes best. Charter arms' little .38 and the S&W bodyguard .38 also come to mind. What are some good CCWs for women?
