Gun peoples: pistol for wife.

2. Pistol or revolver is not as important as her proficiency with it. Revolvers are 'point & click', and the safety is pretty obvious. Autos will require a little more training, but that shouldn't be a deal breaker. Autos will offer you a little more choice in caliber in a compact size.

3. Did I mention proficiency? If she's scared of it, it will be useless. If it isn't second nature to draw and aim, it will be useless. If she can't operate the safety or firing mechanism, it will be useless.

i would never trust anyone's life with a rimfire cartridge. much better to have a centerfire .25 like this http://www.taurususa.com/products/pr...ategory=Pistol
