My Dad's new wife is about to get her CHP and was recommended the above pistol by the Holly Lake PD. If anyone has any advice on this double-action .380 I'd love to hear it.

Personally, I'd recommend the Taurus SW9F 9mm, made by S&W. I have two although they require a shoulder holster and are 100% reliable with ANY ammo and both are pre-ban with 17 round clips.

i'D ALSO RECOMMEND THE SMALLER tAURUS .38 Special hammerless 5 shot with a nice Pachmeyer grip.

I'd recommend a lightweight, concealed- hammer, 5-shot revolver in 38spl.

I'd avoid automatics (especially double action), large or heavy weapons (won't carry), too powerful rounds (frightening), blued steel (rust).

A quick search for titanium handguns yielded this. I'm sure there's others.

I personally don't care for wheelguns myself, but for someone starting out who isn't really familiar with firearms, revolvers are the easiest, most reliable and safest.

This is a 60 year old woman.

Let's get off this 60 shiite - cripes.

60 today, is like 70 or 80 not that many years ago.

To my 60'ish self, this is a non-starter in what she should pack.

One further idea is a nice .22LR for practice, plinking, and just fun shooting...plus, it's lots cheaper per round.

I hope that she has a blast.

Actually I was more focused on the woman part. I don't think I've ever encountered a woman mechanically adept enough or interested in doing the maintenance that a carry auto requires to keep it reliable. Not saying there's none out there though.

I only carry guns that don't need cleaning. Not that I'm a woman, I'm just lazy.

Try the dishwasher with your stainless or nickel K frame Smith. Some cops I used to work with said it works... not sure if they're still around though...LOL.
