Wife needs a revolver but doesn't need anything below a .38. Any suggestions? Is there a pink one available? :oops:

Taurus makes a good 5 shot .38 snubby with Stainless Cylinder, Barrel and Hammer and the rest of it being alloy and is called the Ultra Lite.
It is also +P rated. I have one myself for my ankle holster wear.

Don't believe they come in Pink though........ :sad: :lol:

I like the Ruger SP101. Either the snubbie or the 3" barrel. It's all stainless, so it's a bit heavier than the lightweight types. But don't forget that light = easy to carry and hard to shoot. A heavier gun is easier and more comfortable to shoot. Frequently this is an important consideration for the ladies.

There is more than one way to go pink! My wife did not feel comfortable with a revolver, but she does like her Sig. The rig below was built by Ready Tactical. Let her pick it....she will carry it more often! :grin:

I have a S&W 65 and I love it. It carrys very well in a OWH by Bladetech.

Women don't always want a snubby. IMO 4"'ers are more fun to shoot.

You can always buy a set of pink Mother of Pearl grips for it. Dresses 'em up just right purdy fer the ladies! :grin:

I have the snubby SP-101 (.357) as well and find it too heavy for comfortable carry in the ankle rig.
That is why I just recently got this Taurus expressly for ankle carry.
I'm a big enough Guy that I can handle a little recoil from a .38 Ultra Lite.

It's hard to beat the quality of the Taurus for the price.

Taurus is a good manufacturer. High-quality handguns, good prices, excellent warranty.

I don't have any firsthand experience with their revolvers, but if Taurus does even half as good a job with those as they did with my Millennium Pro, they're well worth the investment. :)
