Well, to put my money where my mouth is:
Walt recently helped me shop for the new pistol for the wife. I ended up walking away with a S&W Airlite in .357.
Time will tell the wisdom of my decision, and I will keep you guys posted. I am already much more comfortable with her ability to handle the revolver than an automatic. It took her all of 10 seconds to understand the intricacies of loading/unloading, pulling the trigger.
I have not yet been able to get her to the range (it is hard when you have an infant) to shoot this pistol, but she handles revolvers just fine. I am not, however, going to load .357 rounds for her. I have a couple boxes of standard velocity ..38 special and some .38 +p loads for her to try. If she can comfortably handle the recoil then I will load the +p's for her. When I carry it will likely have .357, though that is dependent on my ability to handle that cartridge in such a light pistol (I have only test-fired it with standard .38's so far).
