The RUGER LCR with CT laser grips is a good choice. I never thought a 13 oz 38 snubby could be enjoyable to shoot. With it’s linear trigger pull and gel grips anyone can get 2 inch groups at 10 yds. The wife can shoot standard 38 SPL loads all day and not complain. If you decide to go concealed carry you won’t need a second gun. I would store them loaded in a “Gun-Vault” electronic safe. Having an unloaded gun is like screwing with a condom in your wallet.

I also recommended the Ruger LCR above. But, momma should CC it on her persona all day. It won’t do her much good in a gun safe. And, when I read other persons’ posts that the sound of racking a cartridge into a chamber is a good thing, I shudder. A defensive weapon had better be in shooting condition at all times and not need two hands to activate it. Hence the recommendation of a double action revolver.

My “Plan B” is a secondary weapon. No “safe rooms” - that concept is DEFENSIVE - if somebody breaks in MY home, I become the agressor. The lock on my door is there to protect anybody stupid enough to break in - not to protect me.

Almost forgot - hollow point bullets are illegal in fatass Christie’s New Jersey. Some conservative HE is .... Of course, any IDIOT with a tin badge can carry them, though....
