Smith & Wesson 442 Airweight Double-Action Revolver
I second this gun or third or fourth it. Great weapon for a beginner and is high quality. She can always add to her collection as time goes by but this is a nice starter and will always be a keeper.
All well and good, unless/until the purse is snatched. If it stops there, and the perp runs away, that’s good for the carrier. But the best case scenario is that you’ve armed a purse snatcher, who probably has other criminal proclivities.
