| Is your wife planning to conceal it? If so, why didn't you go for a shrouded hammer so that it wouldn't catch on anything? If not, why is the barrel so short? |

No no!!. It's for car carry and nightstand duty. Here in Tx,you can carry in your vehicle w/o a permit!!!

| Then, if I may ask, why did you go with a snub-nose? Those sights look very tiny and the barrel's shortness can't help accuracy. |

| Looks like a great choice! LOL all i can get my wife comfortable with is 22's. The accuracy should be a non-issue since its normally not OK to shoot people from afar. For a car/nightstand gun, i think you could do no better! |

My girlfriend is only comfortable with .22 for now, but it's important that she takes it at her own pace and doesn't feel rushed.
You're right about not having to shoot long range, but I still think the sights are too tiny to get a good sight picture quickly. But that's just me. |

I've shot so much action\competition in the day, I don't use sights untill the range exceeds 10 yds.

Sorry, but what does JFP stand for? I know JHP is jacketed hollow points, so what does the F stand for? Frangible? ... Friendly? |
