I am not gun savvy by any measure. But I own them and have no issues with their use.

I have a 357 single action for home protection. Simple to use and Cathy is unlikely to dump all six shots because of a nervous trigger. This is backed up by a side by side 12 gauge with big shot. I assume one or two shots from the 357 will make happen whatever decisions have to be made in the first encounter of a home invasion.

However, we now both carry money from time to time. We also have a few ex employees with attitude. So, we have decided to go for Conceal and Carry. The 357 is OK but she will need a smaller weapon with more shells in the clip. In the open street, I would assume the faster reload and easier function of a 9mm would be more appropriate. A reasonably aimed 357 will do real damage but after five (always hammer on an empty) reload is a b*tch.

Cathy has been saving credit card points for her's. It's time to go and find one for her and possible for me.

Suggestions from the floor requested.
