If you have the wife using it for home protection I would definatly recommend the .357 revolver...it has more than enough stopping power and the women can handle it without any problems...My wife and I both concealed carry and I personally carry a .45 or a .40 ACP at all times, my wife carries a .38 revolver or her compact 9mm,....But she feels most comfortable with the revolvers, do to the fact that it is just point and shoot, no worries about pulling back the slide or jamming......"The Judge" they are talking about is also a great idea, but it packs a pretty good punch for most women!! Just my opinion!!
