I think I made a mistake getting my not-gun-savy-wife a semi auto pistol. It's a Sig 365 chambered in 380. A fine carry gun but she has trouble pulling the slide and just doesn't know what to do when it doesn't fire. We'd need to spend a good deal more time at the range before she becomes proficient in semi-auto. She is not as fond of the range as I am but wants to carry and has taken the cc course.

So, I'm shopping for a lightweight, double action, short barrel revolver, with a very lite trigger pull. It should have a minimum caliber of 32, bigger would be better.

Please talk to me.

Life is good
