[QUOTE="Good Cheer, post: 1420518, member: 14000"] From personal experience with my own better 2/3's, hand size, grip strength and maintenance of ability are major factors. She picked a double action .357 mag because it is a pick it up and shoot, no middle of the night fumbling brought on by not training continually. And, she's good with it (which counts for a lot) because she can bounce cans in the back yard with 38 wadcutters as well as bang the gong with 357's. By the way, while she has little use for the laser, the Crimson Trace grips best suit her hand, so that's what she shoots (with the laser turned off unless entertaining the cats). Oh, by the way, she also likes the option of blowing through the front of her shoulder bag. An auto that can't eject reliably inside a purse and a slide coming back in an awkward position were also considerations she looked at. A shrouded hammer 38 was the close runner up. [/QUOTE]
