Taurus also makes a small CC revolver in the same calibers:
For those who prefer an autoloader, I'd suggest the Millennium Pro, also by Taurus, available in calibers .32 through .45 ACP
Or the venerable Walther PPK-S, favored by James Bond:

Cornered Cat?
Where’d they get the name. It sounds like the little 7 pound cat my mother had for years. When cornered by a Doberman without a means of escape, fluffy killed the 35 pound dog. A cat can definately take care of itself if it absolutely has to.
Thank you. Excellent counsel in the article.

Thanks for the web site. I sent it to my Sister who just purchased a S&W revolver for home defense.
With the addition of female cats not going out looking for trouble, you pretty much nailed it.
I prefer the venerable Sig Sauer P232 with Hogue grips!

Taurus makes a nice gun. But that S&W Lady Smith is perfection.
IMHO the biggest single problem with women carrying is ...how?
I bought my wife and I matching OWB Bianchi holsters. This was not for concealed purposes, just simple carrying. I wasn’t thinking.
She can’t draw from hers. Physical differences .
The info on female carrying, holsters, etc. is really lacking.
Fashion makes hiding a weapon next to impossible for females.
Smith and Wesson makes nice handguns. I’ve owned a half dozen over the years in .44 Mag to .22 and most in between. I’ve never fired a bad one.

I think this is the biggest problem for everyone. During the summer I wear a shorts and a tee. During the rest of the year for work I need to wear a shirt and tie.
I am not agile enough for the ankle holster and won't leave the gun in the vehicle.
I know of at least one design of a purse with an open draw pouch on the end (friction fit.) Something that would work in a formal fashion setting. Not the least bit obvious...
I like the unisex belt bags with quick draw velcro closures. I think they come in fluorescent colors too. And they will hold some of the biggest cannons needing concealment. Though not as fashionable as the purse design. Something that would work in a casual fashion setting. So obvious, that it’s not obvious...
I’m kind of curious if that new Federal .327 Magnum will become common enough for a ladies hideout revolver. The specs look interesting.
Why do you think male cats go out??? To find female cats. The females may not go out "looking" for trouble, but they seem to cause a lot of it. :^)
I’ve been away too long (from the states, thus from posting) so I am rusty with my html skills (and I got up way too early today) so no hot link. On second thought, there should be a hot link, now that I’ve previewed this post.
Here’s a source with some options for concealed carry, both for the man or woman of the house.

Some of the information on that Cornered Cat site could cause a shooter to develop bad gun handling habits. Like everything on the Internet, you have to separate the chaff from the wheat.

And women are any different? Guys tend to go looking for trouble, and some seem to prefer it to women. I’ve known a few tomcats like that, too. The girls sometimes like to see the guys fight over them, but THEY aren’t looking for trouble, just helping the guys find it! ;)
