So, my mom is finally getting her CWP here is SC and I’m looking for some information to help her out. At this point, I am thinking that a revolver will be easiest and best suited for her to carry. She has some wrist and tendon issues from her youth in her left arm so this make racking a slide on a semi very hard, if not impossible for her...she’s tried on all the vast options I have!
What I don’t have, is a good grasp on suitable revolver options her. I only own 2 revolvers given to me by family and they will likely never be shot (and wouldn’t be suitable for her or CC anyway). My personal experience with revolvers is as follows...first handgun I ever shot as a kid was my dad’s, hated the DA heavy trigger...never looked at or bought revolvers in all my years because of that one experience!
Here are some of my thoughts on her needs at this point...
Caliber - common, nothing exotic, likely 38
Trigger - something with not too heavy a pull in DA
Hammer - exposed hammer is ok
Size - not super small but also not full sized, needs to fit in woman’s “normal” shoulder pocketbook and car console, also not too heavy
Brand - reliable, cost is not a huge concern
Help me (and her) out CFF! Thanks!
