[QUOTE="RedTape, post: 1857432, member: 66"] A J-frame for home defense? Really? If it's not going to be carried, I certainly wouldn't consider a J-frame. If she's comfortable with the Glock, get her a 19 or 17. High capacity, night sights and/or light, simple, etc...And seriously...a home defense gun that is going to get so dirty it's not going to function? Now, if she really does not want a semi-auto, get a revolver larger than a J. Smith or Ruger would be my choice. No reason to get a little carry gun with hard to see sights for home defense. Notice I mentioned sights again...it's hard to make good hits in the dark without night sights or a light! All that being said, I'd let her have a say in what gun she gets...she needs to feel comfortable with it. I've found that when someone gets a "gun of their own" they are more interested in shooting and learning to use it. The best thing you could give her would be enrollment in a good training class.
