[QUOTE="Soulman, post: 852088, member: 554"] Since it's for beginners, I don't think they would spend much time on the range with a shotgun. I would suggest a S&W 15 (adj sights) or 10 (fixed sights). The .38spl K-frame is an excellent pistol with very little maintenance required, not too expensive to shoot, not too bad on noise/recoil, and reliable (not as likely to jam so even a complete novice can be taught to operate in just a few minutes). A revolver could have problems, not saying they are without a chance to fail. However, you don't have to learn to clearn stovepipes, rack slides, etc. Everyone can worst case scenario, thumbcock and fire the revolver single action. If you don't train to operate a semiauto with both hands, what if one hand gets taken out of the fight? Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
