[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 876412, member: 423"] I agree that a .38 makes a great gun. And, for this case, one of the S&W model 64's that JG is selling (see the thread in this section, or the Gen'l Discussions) would be fantastic. Not too heavy, but heavy enough to keep recoil from being a deterrent. I would advise you NOT to get one of the "cute" little snubbies around for her first gun. They make positively GREAT carry guns, but they are far less than ideal for a beginner's gun. My other comment regarding what Zombie said, is that what feels good at the gun counter may NOT feel good during live fire. Also, don't get something that is lower quality because it "looks" or "feels" good. Again, I'll use the snubbies as an example. They feel good in the hand, they're light, and they tend to point very naturally. However, they can be downright painful for a new shooter, especially if you get the lightest guns/ powerful ammo combined. You can order one of the S&W 64's here: [URL="http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/smith-wesson/revolver/p/smith-wesson-model-64-38spl-4in-stainless%2C-square-butt-w-bobbed-hammer-good-to-very-good-condition/cPath/16_211_431/products_id/3806"]JG Sales[/URL] Unbeatable even for $220 (+ shipping and transfer) if you buy one on your own. A .38 like this would be a fantastic gun to learn with, and you would never outgrow it either. A 4" .38 spl is a fun range gun no matter how experienced you are with guns. As I mentioned earlier, in the way of autos. Again, try to shoot some with the full size caliber first.
