[QUOTE="Elm Creek Smith, post: 2797252, member: 32710"] First, let your daughter choose her own gun. My wife's gun is a 4 inch S&W Model 681 (!) with a Crimson Trace grip. Loaded with Speer 135 grain .38 Special +P Short Barrel Gold Dots it is easy to shoot, accurate, and I trust it to protect her. Generally, a K or L frame revolver is easier to shoot than any J frame. My recommendation would be one of the two inch S&W Model 64s that seem to be available on the used gun market right now. That said, I have a S&W 642-2 loaded with the Short Barrel .38 +Ps on my ankle to backup my S&W 686-6 duty revolver. My older daughter has my old Taurus 85SSUL loaded with the same ammo. (She's 40 and has been shooting since she was 10.) [/QUOTE]
