be lightweight, low to mild recoil, and well built.


Get the Smith & Wesson Model 442. It's a 5-shot, small, light weight
revolver, double action only with no exposed hammer to snag. Add a
wolff spring kit and the trigger becomes extra smooth and light. I've
carried one for years and ran a lot of rounds through it. You can get
light wadcutter loads and up to +P JHP. Ultra reliable point and click
interface. And, it's surprisingly accurate!

Colt Detective Special (6 shots) with a set of Pacmeyers on it to fit
her hand

As good as the Smith, with an extra round. Carried one for 30 yrs.
Have one on me as I type this in fact.

Now..there are some decent small self loaders...the CPX-2 looks pretty
good..and its 9mm

Double action only..which is a good thing for an up close and personal
weapon.

Holds 10 rds..load it with the best rated JHP ammo you can buy.

Or a Mod 10 4". Add grips to fit....

All three weapons can be had for under $300 , used in good shape The
CPX-2 can be had for that price new in the box.

Not a lot of call for wheelguns..so there are surplus belly guns
tucked away all over the place looking for new homes

You haven't looked at gun prices lately, have you? Or is CA the magic
cheap gun state? In OH, all guns are made of Platinum and bullets are
diamonds. Revolvers are especially pricey, auto-loaders are easier on
the billfold.
