[QUOTE="Duck L'Orange, post: 2843676, member: 7814"] One of the first handguns I shot was a Ruger sp101 loaded with .38 special. I seriously couldn't believe how pleasant it was to shoot. If you're like me, though, revolvers take a ton of practice and discipline to fire accurately. Still, I wouldn't rule them out, which it kind of sounds like you have from your posts. Don't get anything like an "airweight" if recoil is your concern. Go for heavier designs with full or partial lugs. Most stainless J or K frames would work, as would the sp101 I mentioned. The sp101 weighs about 6-8 ounces less than the cougar unloaded, and probably even less loaded since it has less shells in it. I assume you've shot some of your husband's, and if you just aren't a revolver gal, it's whatever. I'm not either, really. But I've yet to find a smaller gun that was softer shooting. But if you change your mind, the shield will sell in a flash, as they appear to be the go-to CCW recommendation nowadays. [/QUOTE]
