[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 423876, member: 11476"] Sober, you are right. As far as fail safe handgun goes, a revolver is the way to go. The drawback is you only get 6 rounds, if you keep a round under the hammer. Speed loaders do circumvent this problem but you have to practice using a speed loader, and in a stressed situation, well you can always throw the gun at an intruder. However I would stay away from a 357mag. For me personally, they have more recoil than I like. Caveat- it's been awhile since I have shot one and may reconsider this. As far as semi-auto's go, if they are well maintained, kept cleaned and well oiled this will minimize jamming. Also using a good round and not a cheap off brand will also help. I love the Colt 45 ACP we have. It is a little heavier than mine 9mm but it helps conter-act the recoil. It is a very nice gun. I will get another 45. Cach, with that target pattern it will end the life of crime. LOL I wouldn't about them reconsidering. Kudo's to your wife. I think every woman should know how to handle and shoot a firearm, be it handgun or shotgun. [/QUOTE]
