TODAY'S GUN TIME

She try a shield EZ?

Reality is being she's over 70, I highly doubt she'll be looking at reloading for a carry pistol. After not being able to work the slide on a .22 semi, can't see the S&W being any easier.

For home defense, a revolver is still the weapon of choice. It can sit for years, and as a double action and near always fire on the first round. It is a very simple device, with 99% that it will work. And all home invasion events point to A Gun shot that scared the Perps off. I have a whole bunch of guns of use as my private protection. These are all guns that work. But the revlover is what you want as a long term, put it away device, and never wonder if the springs in your auto loader are rusty or weak.

That may fit the bill.

I've shot one and planned on buying one...they were hard to find for a while.
Time to look again, I think...
Another one...Ruger LCR in .22. I'm a big fan of Ruger, but not a fan of DAO revolvers

I told my MIL if someone sees a gun in your hand, they have a couple of choices. Generally they don't debate the possible caliber your gun is and how much harm it could do to you...

A police friend of mine said, after being shot by both a 22 and a 9 mil, he said the 22 was worst. Maybe not in stopping power, but it bounced all the bones on his body, and caused more later long term damage. The 9 was a much more clear trajectory through his body. He survived both being a Baltimore, MD, Cop. He got out of being a Police Man, because he didn't want to be shot by a 22 again.

Quick web search as I had no clue what one was, looks like a single six although I didn't open up a page.

Ironically enough, the revolver I had her try was a single six.

It’s basically an aluminum single-six…or whatever it it’s made of. Shockingly accurate. Obviously not built like a single six but it’s also not $600.

Actually, the best home defense is living in the country away from people.

Never mind.

The EZ mechanism specifically reduces the effort required to rack the slide. Built for folks with weaker hands.
