Nic - my best friend just bought a S & W .30 hammerless revolver, short barrel, with a laser light (where the shot will go.)
She loves it.
I haven’t got a laser light, but I’ve seen those advertised.
I can’t help but think that it will make a shot more accurate.
I’ll have to find out the type I shot during the summer (I can’t remember which S&W revolver type it was...shot that, a glock, a shot gun, and a rifle....I liked the revolver best).
