Help me pick a revolver for my wifes ccw

[Zundfolge]

Why a revolver?

I ask this because a lot of people reflexivly think that a snub nose .38 is the ideal gun for "The Little Lady" ... when in reality, small revolvers are a weapon that really require an expert level of shooting skill to shoot well.

Now if she still really wants a revolver, I'd say get a S&W J Frame (in .357mag if at all possible ... not that she has to carry .357, but they're beefy enough for +p and opens up your options for ammo). You can't go wrong.
