It totally lines up with my own (somewhat limited) experience teaching my wife and her friends to shoot. They ALL hate revolvers.
If they all hate revolvers, then I'd say you didn't teach them properly.
No dig against you, but if they wind up hating revolvers, something wasn't done right. Prefer something other than a revolver, sure. Hate? no, hate means something was missed, or incorrectly presented.
I assume you're not one of the morons who gives a beginning shooter a .44 Mag as their first time with a revolver...are you??
I am old school in many ways, I think people should be taught to shoot, THEN move on to defensive shooting (and the guns best suited for that).
the survey was mildly interesting but their rankings don't mean squat to me. Might be of some value if you are looking to sell pistols to women. I'm not.
I too cringe when someone recommend a snub nose revolver (or a pocket size anything) to a beginner. Those guns are the most difficult of all guns to shoot well, and some are the most difficult to operate at all, for certain people.
Mom was a small woman, 4' 10 (and a half, damnit!!) wore size 3.5 ring (her High School Class ring would pass through my 8.5 class ring without touching), and she never weighed 110lbs in her life.
Dad got her a .25 auto. She couldn't rack the slide. She could manage to rack a 1911A1, if she cocked the hammer, first. She could do tolerably well with his S&W Model 28 (it had the original "magna" grips, the small ones), shooting SA. She never bothered with DA.
On the other hand, with HER pistol, she was deadly accurate, fast if she felt like it, and borderline amazing at her ability to hit small things and moving things, to the point neighbors and friends nicknamed her "Annie Oakley".
Her pistol was a Ruger Super Bearcat.
To contrast this, my wife's cousin came to visit, the 12yr old I had met a decade earlier had become an absolutely stunning 6' blonde to rival any model or actress you've ever seen. She showed up wearing cowboy boots, jeans that seem painted on, a very..snug shirt and a jean jacket. She asked in I had any 9mm ammo I could spare, she wanted to practice a bit while out in the country. She then produced a small 9mm seemingly out of thin air. And she shot it well, too. This was a lady who knew what she was about, and managed perfect CCW. To this day, I don't know where she wore that gun, and I did look! (carefully, )
I mention these two, as a couple of illustrations of the wide range of possible differences. I don't teach women to shoot, I don't teach men to shoot, I teach people to shoot and every one of them is different in some way.
If you are considering a pistol for a woman, don't go by anyone's "ranking" as to what is best, go with what she wants and feels best for her. If that happens to match somebody's study, fine. If it doesn't, also fine, and perhaps even better!
