[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1910673, member: 24428"] You will probably have to give up on her ever cleaning & loading a weapon. Just be satisfied if she will pick a weapon up and shoot it if it is ever necesary. My first choice of a home defense weapon for a woman who doesn't take shooting seriously or is intimidated by guns would be a .410 pump shotgun. Almost no recoil and almost dummy proof to use. Load it up with heavy bird shot. For a handgun, I would suggest getting her a good 9 shot .22 LR revolver with a 4" Barrel and a smooth 4 pound trigger pull... load it up with CCI Stingers... stick-it in a good holster and tell her to put it where she can get to it in a emergency. Then if she ever gets scared enough.. she will at least be able to get a few rounds into a intruder. With a revolver it is just point and squeeze the trigger. Maybe the shots alone will scare the BG away. A lot of gun guys fail to take into account that in a emergency situation, firing a large caliber handgun or shotgun in the house will darn near cause total deafness.... and that a single loud bang like that might just scare the hell out of the wife or daughter so that they won't fire a second shot. Best to be satisfied with what you can get them to accept... as it is far better than them using no weapon at all. [/QUOTE]
