Before I get flack for this, let me just say it's for my daughter and I am just in the "thinking about" stage. Going away to college next year.....and for self defense.
She has tried most calibers and can shoot them at a range, but real world without earplugs, without hesitation, what would work.
I'm thinking Ruger LCR in .22 magnum or .327 magnum.
.22 because low recoil, but loud. She likes her browning .22 so I think it would be an easy transition.
.327 for its power, and even versatility of rounds available, but loud, and might cause hesitation or even shock after firing.
Thoughts welcome.
Does .22 magnum not also fire .22 LR?
Thanks
