With the new range open and only ten minutes from my house, I have been trying to make it a habit to take new shooters out to the range for an introduction to shooting. For safety and simplicity, I usually like to start newbies out on revolvers, preferably in .38spl. I am hoping you guys can suggest a few models for me to look for that would be good choices for the training role. The revolvers I have right now just do not quite fit the role properly (imagine my 5' tall female friend trying to hold up a Ruger GP-161!).
Requirements:
either .38spl or .357 mag (will shoot mostly .38spl)
barrel length 4-5"
Traditional rear sights, not just a groove in the top strap
Trigger pull that most women can handle easily
Trigger reach that most women can handle easily
Reliable and easy to operate
Suggestions?
