I have a feeling you'll be ready.
ditto.
There’s a lot of merit to revolver carry and especially those with a bobbed or shrouded hammer, as Glenn Dee pointed out. You might want to consider one because of their design features but imo, that’s something for you to decide according to what you’re comfy with.
My wife taught me a lesson there. Her favored pistol for carry is a slightly modified and slightly lightened .44 Bulldog. Due to her very small hands and light frame, I got it into my head that it was a little too much for her, and went through buying a series of pistols "more suitable" and "higher quality". She tried them all out, and handed more than one back dismissively (the two-fingered hold, like she was handing back a smelly bag of dog mess).
The only pistols she’s considered replacing it with have been a govt. model and a little .40 Astra, … and those weren’t ones that I bought for her to carry ! I’m glad she stuck with the revolver for several reasons, mostly what Glen said..
She can shoot tight groups quickly and she’s confident with it, even though she leaves every practice session with a bruised hand. The flinch that I expected to develop still hasn’t showed up after 20+ years. She’s had to pull it a couple of times, and all’s been well. It seems "right for her", even though I have a few reservations.
... now you guys are getting me on edge a bit. I still have a few years to go before I have to deal with fertilizer, but the girls are growing up fast … been kinda fantasizing about meeting the boys sniffin' around while cleaning my HK-91 or installing a ballistic box hidden in a basement wall
… wife probably wouldn’t let me get radical, though … maybe a good thing, but doesn’t sound like much fun.
