When my daughter and I went to the Sheriff’s Department for a handgun purchase license, the grandfatherly deputy suggested a double-action revolver for small women looking for a self-defense gun. Point and shoot, as another poster said, and you’re not likely to need accuracy at great distance.
I learned on semi-auto so I guess I am more comfortable. I am however looking for no fuss, no muss gun. Perhaps I will try one at the firing range as someone suggested to see how I like it.
Sigh...
