I’ve heard two women say “I want one of these” after shooting a Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley in .44 Magnum with full power loads. One of them was a 15 year old girl.
One of Mrs L’s favorite handguns is a Smith and Wesson 629.

I once took an Australian kid - daughter’s boyfriend - to the range for his first time. He had NEVER shot a gun. ANY gun. his handling, aim, lack of flinching and total confidence had him shooting a 6” .44 Maghum more accurately than I ever could within an hour of arrival. Said he’d only ever played first-person shooter video games.
The Model 29 and 27 N-frames I find are just too YUGE for most women’s hands and I never thought to bring one to the range though I own several (S-models through 329PD airweight). Next time maybe.
The allure of power you can hold in your hand is very intense.
VIZ - “TRANS” fad?
